How much in grant fudning is available? Started at $20 Million. It’s at $45 Million now.

Any Texas recipients? No. As Hewlett chief alludes, more private interests need to support research about how cyber security should look in the future. Specifically:

- think broadly or systematically about a larger framework
- think about what cybersecurity should look like in the future
- how to balance new technology and privacy
