Rutgers opens research center to combat security threats
Rutgers University has been awarded a grant from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alongside nine other universities aiming to mitigate criminal attacks on soft targets such as schools, hospitals, shopping malls and sports stadiums.
The DHS’s Science and Technology Directorate will provide $3.6 million for the first year of a 10-year grant to fund the new Center of Excellence for Engineering Secure Environments from Targeted Attacks (ESE).
