促进网络基础设施-直接与研究人员合作，特别是通过大规模和先进的计算，推进其研究的计算密集型和数据密集型方面-已成为研究计算过程的一个关键组成部分。然而，由于没有国家正规教育课程来培养所需的劳动力，非正规教育是最可行的办法。高级网络基础设施研究和教育促进者（ACI-REF）虚拟居住（VR）计划自2015年夏季开始运作，是一项国家非正式教育计划，旨在培训网络基础设施（CI）促进者为其研究和教育服务的有效方法。特别是专注于专业（软）技能（因为辅导员需要的大部分技术内容可以通过其他机会获得）。VR主要包括（a）为期一周的夏季密集讲习班，提供促进方面的内容和经验，（B）两周一次的电话会议，扩大讲习班中介绍的各种主题以及额外的内容和经验，（c）国家会议上的会议，以及（d）赠款提案写作学徒。未来计划的重点是将虚拟现实模式扩展到中级和高级水平，以及传播一种“培训培训者的培训者”的方法，教导其他组织在自己的CI促进者社区内开展自己的虚拟现实活动，以扩大虚拟现实的规模，范围和影响力。VR项目及其分支已经为美国和国际上188家机构的364名CI专业人员提供了服务。虚拟居民的定位是晋升到中级和更高的水平，并最终成为机构和国家CI领导人。
Cyberinfrastructure facilitation -- working directly with researchers to advance the computing-intensive and data-intensive aspects of their investigations, especially via large-scale and advanced computing -- has emerged as a crucial component of research computing processes. However, because no national formal education curriculum exists to cultivate the needed workforce, informal education is the most viable approach. The Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Research and Education Facilitator (ACI-REF) Virtual Residency (VR) program, in operation since summer 2015, is a national informal education program that trains Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Facilitators on effective methods for serving their research and education constituents, especially focusing on professional (soft) skills (because much of the technical content that facilitators need is available via other opportunities). The VR consists primarily of (a) summer weeklong intensive workshops that provide both content and experiences in facilitation, (b) biweekly conference calls that expand upon both the kinds of topics introduced in the workshops and additional content and experiences, (c) meetings at national conferences and (d) a grant proposal writing apprenticeship. Future plans focus on extending the VR model to intermediate and advanced levels, as well as disseminating a "train-the-trainers-of-trainers" approach to teaching other organizations to conduct their own VR activities within their own CI Facilitator communities, in order to expand the VR's scale, scope, and reach. The VR program and its offshoots have already served 364 CI professionals at 188 institutions across the US and internationally. Virtual Residents are positioned to advance to the intermediate level and beyond, and ultimately to become institutional and national CI leaders.
