Research Purpose

The major purpose of the research was to identify ways in which people can be able to adequately and effectively spend the grant. Secondly was the use of data science which is the mathematical, business acumen, tools, and machine learning that help detect various patterns from raw data to make a big business decision. In the determination of how to fund money can play a role in helping an organization, institution, and the community, data science is very efficient. Several questions were answered, such as: What is the priority in that organization or institute? What is the population of those individuals interested? Comment by Schrantz, Brenda: I am confused??? I’m not sure how this matches the title and focus of the article on cyber-security.

Precedent Literature

The need for research was to ensure that there are various ways in which funds can be put in use effectively. Data science and cybersecurity can play a part in this grant awarding. Data science can be used in making the appropriate decision, and cybersecurity can be used in making the protection of what is proposed when it will be implemented.

Research Concern

The research is talking mostly about the use of grant address in school, the workplace, and in the community. The grant is mostly obtained from government funds and other charity organizations. It is seen that most people who are not in a position to take care of themselves can use this kind of help. For example, a grant of about $20,000 can be used to pay for the bursary of orphans and those poor students. It can assist them in getting an education at whichever level they partake, which will be a good action. It can ensure that they undergo a proper learning process just like other students. In a workplace, it can be used to ensure that there is maximum security by employing cybersecurity. It can also ensure that they take part in work that can develop and train them to gain new skills and awareness. When employees are trained over a new field with adequate technology and equipment, they are likely to increase the quantity of production and its quality still. On the side of the community, it can be used to assist youths in building their businesses to reduce the dependency ratio.

Research Methodology

They chose students from different backgrounds, the bright students, the average and the ones who came last, and lastly, they chose students based on the grade they are in at that particular time. To find accurate information, there was a certain sample population that is used. For example, if the population is 1000, at least 100 students can be used as samples. In a workplace, tests were done because they will mostly involve security matters and data science. Testing with real data gave good feedback on what should be done (Cavelty, 2010).

Instrumentation

Various methods can be used in playing a role in any activity. For instance, in an institution, questionnaires and interviews were effective. In a community, surveys and interviews were used to get the real information, that is, first-hand information. It can enable people to get what they required in people and help them obtain a background where they could play a part in whatever field they want. Survey after interviews and questionnaires helped counteract any biased activities that could have taken place. 

Findings

In the findings, statistical measures were set in place since they were most adequate. They were used to ensure that people could play a part on behalf of the whole population. The later probability will be used to predict results that could fit the whole population at large. In a workplace, findings were made on better ways of protecting information and data against attackers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, grant-awarding can be done in many fields depending on an organization. The urgency of the work and what was needed for the normality of operations. The research methods that were employed determined the accurate results that were gotten (Von Solms & Van Niekerk, 2013).

Recommendation

There should be more facilities that can be able to detect if the information and data that are used are actually in use. There should be a way in which people can participate and take part in what is effective and appropriate. Computers and machines should be used to get accurate information other than getting from people. People can be paid to lie so that they may benefit from it.
