Summary

Cyber Security Research and Development Act - Authorizes appropriations, to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and to the Secretary of Commerce for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to establish new programs and to increase funding for certain current programs for computer and network security research and development and research fellowships. Requires the NSF Director to award grants for computer and network security through the following: (1) basic research in innovative approaches to the structure of their hardware and software; (2) multidisciplinary research centers, through institutions of higher education (IHEs) or their consortia which may partner with government laboratories or for-profit institutions; (3) undergraduate and master's degree programs, as well as education-related grants under the Scientific and Advanced Technology Act of 1992; (4) graduate traineeships; and (5) graduate research fellowships. Amends the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 to include among NSF functions leading in supporting research and education activities to improve networked information systems' security. Amends the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act to require the NIST Director to establish a program of assistance to IHEs that enter into partnerships (which may include government laboratories) with for-profit entities to support research to improve the security of computer systems. Requires such program to include: (1) multidisciplinary, long-term, high-risk research; (2) research directed toward addressing needs identified through computer security review, public meeting, and information activities of the Computer System Security and Privacy Advisory Board (with special funds authorized by this Act); and (3) support for graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and senior researchers. Requires NIST to carry out specified types of intramural computer security research. Requires the NIST Director to arrange with the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences to study and report to Congress on critical infrastructure weaknesses.
