A Landmark Partnership for National Security

The Texas Tech University System has entered a groundbreaking Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This collaboration highlights Texas Tech’s growing reputation as a leader in research and innovation, especially in areas that impact both national and global security.

At the center of this agreement is the Critical Infrastructure Security Institute (CISI) at Texas Tech. CISI’s mission is to develop strategies and technologies that protect essential systems such as:

  • ⚡ The power grid

  • 💧 Water utilities

  • 🏥 Healthcare systems

  • 🛡️ Defense and energy sectors

By combining Texas Tech’s research capabilities with the FBI’s expertise, the partnership aims to bolster defenses against cyberattacks and train the next generation of security experts.

What This Means for Texas Tech and the Community

This agreement is more than just a research opportunity—it’s a career pipeline for Texas Tech students and graduates. With the cybersecurity field in high demand, Red Raiders now have the chance to:

  • Gain hands-on training in cybersecurity

  • Contribute to projects that protect national infrastructure

  • Work alongside federal law enforcement on critical security issues

This partnership also reinforces Texas Tech’s commitment to being a top-tier research institution while providing tangible benefits to the local, state, and national community.

Why It Matters

Cybersecurity threats are growing more advanced every year. Attacks on power grids, hospitals, and water systems could have devastating consequences. By joining forces with the FBI, Texas Tech is positioning itself as a national leader in critical infrastructure protection.

For students, alumni, and fans, it’s another reminder that Texas Tech pride goes beyond athletics—the university is shaping the future of technology and security on a global scale.

Wreck ’Em Takeaway

The Texas Tech–FBI partnership is a huge win for Red Raiders everywhere. It strengthens the university’s reputation, opens new doors for students, and protects communities across the country.

This is proof that Texas Tech’s impact reaches far beyond the South Plains.
