October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month - Protect the Pack: You are Security!
Please see the following announcement from the Office of Information Technology. Data security is very important to researchers, so being aware of efforts to improve data security is an important responsibility for us all.
Your data’s privacy depends on your ability to secure it safely.
Your ability to secure your data depends on what you know.
During Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM) in October, the NC State Office of Information Technology, along with the NC State Department of Computer Science, ePartners Program, LabCorp, and MetLife, is co-sponsoring “Protect the Pack: You are Security” to provide you with valuable yet simple advice to protect your personal and work-related data and devices.
This year’s event will highlight a four-member panel of Google Security experts on Wednesday, Oct. 21 who will answer questions about the type of content that should be stored in Google Drive and the level of security the university’s G Suite environment provides. This panel discussion will be held at 2 p.m. online and is open to the novice and the experienced NC State G Suite user. Event participants will have an opportunity to win great prizes, including a Fire TV 4K Essentials Bundle, a RT ROCKTEK G1 Android TV 9.0, a Jabra Speak 410 portable conference speaker, and Yubikeys. To register, visit REPORTER.

Two Funding Opportunities from the National Endowment for the Humanities
After the jump, please see two funding opportunities from the NEH, both with early December deadlines.
Digital Humanities Advancement Grants
Digital Humanities Advancement Grants (DHAG) support innovative, experimental, and/or computationally challenging projects at different stages throughout their lifecycles, from early start-up phases through implementation and sustainability. Experimentation, reuse, and extensibility are hallmarks of this program, leading to innovative work that can scale to enhance scholarly research, teaching, and public programming in the humanities. Proposals are welcome for digital initiatives in any area of the humanities.
Application due date: 12/1/2020
Collaborative Research Program
The Collaborative Research program aims to advance humanistic knowledge through sustained collaboration between two or more scholars. Collaborators may be drawn from a single institution or several institutions across the United States; up to half of the collaborators may be based outside of the U.S. The program encourages projects that propose diverse approaches to topics, incorporate multiple points of view, and explore new avenues of inquiry in the humanities.
