点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

With this award, The University of Montana will join over 150 other research universities who are engaged in advanced high performance networking, the Next Generation Internet initiative, and the consortium of Internet2 universities. The award provides Montana with $350,000, an amount they will more than match, so that they can establish their advanced network link through a gigapop in Seattle at the University of Washington. These network connections are supported by NSF in order to enable science and research uses at the universities. Montana has a number of strong research activities and programs related to the biological sciences, mining, forestry, land use, and management of natural resources. Their collaborations with other universities in the region and throughout the nation, as well as other support from NASA and DOE, will be greatly served by this new networking facility.
