This poster disseminated a National Science Foundation-funded study that examined the challenges faced by research enterprise professionals in supporting social science research funding, with particular attention to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Primarily Undergraduate Institutions. (PUIs). Using focus groups and a national survey, participants identified barriers and promising solutions. Findings highlight the dedication of professionals in this field and the potential for innovative strategies to strengthen and expand social science research across institutions.

Today's industrial equipment is connected over a network to communicate with external systems and make decisions without human intervention, making it vulnerable to cyberattacks and showing the importance of research. This study explored the implementation of a cloud-based virtual testbed for a smart factory for cybersecurity testing and research. As a first step, this paper reports on developing an environment with one programmable logic controller (PLC) simulating a conveyor belt setup. The study examined different virtualization platforms and network designs. In addition, it executed a denial-of-service attack and identified its signature indicators. The study found that VMware Workstation Pro is the most suitable virtualization platform and that network input and output are the DoS attack's signature indicators.
In this paper, we focus on how Black students matter, from their perspective, in
Ohio higher education. To better support Black students, policymakers, college
leaders, and organizers must understand what is happening on the ground
from students themselves. The words of the essayist and thinker, James
Baldwin, are pertinent here: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but
nothing can be changed until it is faced.” This Ohio Black Student Equity Report
is our contribution to ensuring that Ohioans face the state of racial (in)equity in
higher education as it relates to Black students.
