Abstract
T³-CIDERS is a train-the-trainer program to increase the adoption of advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) and data skills into the fabric of research and education in cybersecurity and cyber-related disciplines. T³-CIDERS trains faculty, researchers, and students as “future trainers” (FTs) with hands-on technical and instructional skills to enable more people to effectively leverage CI in cybersecurity. The program includes a series of technical pre-training modules, a weeklong summer institute, ongoing learning engagements conducted over an academic year; it culminates with the FTs conducting locally tailored CI-infused training events at their respective home institutions. Ultimately, T³-CIDERS aims to build a “CI+cybersecurity” community of practice as the cohort continues to practice and teach CI skills in their teaching and research activities. This paper describes the vision and implementation of T³-CIDERS with the first cohort starting in year 2024. Based on the lessons learned through the in-person cohorts, a fully online program will be developed to expand the reach of T³-CIDERS to a broader audience. T³-CIDERS responds to the need to close the CI and data skill gap to meet the increasing challenges in securing the digital world.
