Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Act of 2025

HR 2980 establishes a new Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program under the Department of Energy to support graduate students and postdoctoral researchers studying cybersecurity for energy infrastructure. The program provides competitive grants for scholarships, fellowships, and research at colleges and universities, including hands-on training at national labs and utility companies. It specifically aims to increase participation from historically Black colleges, Tribal Colleges, and minority-serving institutions. The bill directly affects advanced students and researchers in cybersecurity and energy fields, focusing on building workforce capacity through education and practical experience.
