The Rochester Regional Cyber, Security and Ethics Initiative is a unique non-profit partnership between the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), numerous area school districts, the Archdiocese of Rochester Department of Catholic Schools, other higher education institutions and private schools, and regional offices of three national organizations, including:

• The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)
• Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)
• InfraGard Member Alliance (IMA of Rochester), a program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Funding for the Initiative is been largely donated time and services from local organizations since its inception in early 2006.  To improve cyber safety, security and ethics at the K-12 level, as well as for teachers, parents, employers and other members of the community funding is necessary. The comprehensive research program requires a minimal commitment of $2,000 per school district to fund development of the research survey, train districts, conduct analysis of results and deliver reports.
