Creates a Department of Energy program to train graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in cybersecurity focused on energy infrastructure. The program will provide competitive scholarships, fellowships, and research grants; place trainees at National Laboratories and electric utilities; and run outreach to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges, and other minority‑serving institutions. The Secretary of Energy must report to two Congressional committees within one year on developing and implementing the program.
The program aims to build a specialized workforce to protect the energy system by combining financial support, research funding, hands‑on placements, and targeted recruitment to expand diversity and technical capacity in energy cybersecurity.
