West Virginia Blueprint for Science and Technology: Strengthening Statewide Multidisciplinary Academic Research Infrastructure

西弗吉尼亚州已经建立了强大的学术基础，在此基础上支持识别科学与技术（Id S&amp；T）和高性能计算（HPC）领域的大规模竞争项目和技术转让，并认为它们对该州未来的经济发展很重要。该项目在西弗吉尼亚大学和马歇尔大学建立基础设施，以加强这些科学领域的身体和智力能力。识别科学与技术是基于分子科学与工程应用之间日益增长的协同作用。它反映了分子/生命科学，微/纳米科学和信息科学与技术的界面所定义的领域的多学科研究。分子/生命科学的研究将通过关注生物化学的复杂性和组织的层次结构，在最基本的层面上发展对生命特征的科学理解。微/纳米科学和工程的研究将集中在设计和使用新设备来获取生物特征信息。信息科学与工程的研究将发展大量时空生物特征信息的数据分析和解释。高性能计算研究领域将加强计算科学和人机接口的基础设施，支持必要的数值和数据分析，以补充物理研究。HPC工作将：1)将EPSCoR HPC计划与更广泛的学术研究计算和信息科学与工程基础设施计划联系起来；2)寻找辅助用户与计算机交互的新方法，辅助各个领域的研究人员；3)为包括高中在内的各级学生的研究和教育提供资源。HPC的工作包括使用已建立的虚拟环境实验室进行各种创新研究和教育活动。除了研究领域的工作外，该项目还将把NSF EPSCoR活动与该州正在进行的教育和推广活动结合起来，创建新的倡议，并增加在科学、数学、工程和技术领域未被充分代表的群体的参与。

West Virginia has developed a strong academic base on which to support larger scale competitive programs and technology transfer in the areas of Identification Science and Technology (Id S&T) and High Performance Computing (HPC) and deems them important to the future economic development for the state. This project builds infrastructure at West Virginia University and Marshall University to strengthen physical and intellectual capability in these scientific areas. Identification Science and Technology is based on the growing synergy between molecular science and engineering applications. It reflects the multidisciplinary research in areas defined by the interfaces of molecular/life sciences, micro/nano science and information science and technology. Research in the molecular/life sciences will develop scientific understanding of life signatures at the most fundamental level by focusing on biochemical complexity and the hierarchy of organization. Research in the micro/nano sciences and engineering will focus on design and use of new devices to acquire biometric information. Research in information science and engineering will develop data analysis and interpretation of large volumes of spacial and temporal biometric information. The High Performance Computing research area will enhance the infrastructure for computational science and human/computer interfaces that support the numerical and data analysis necessary to complement the physical research. The HPC effort will: 1) link the EPSCoR HPC plan to the broader academic research computing and information science and engineering infrastructure plan; 2) find new ways to assist users interacting with computers and assist researchers in various disciples; and 3) provide a resource for student research and education at various levels including high school. The HPC effort includes use of an established Virtual Environment Laboratory for a variety of innovative research and educational activities.In addition to work in the research areas, the project will integrate the NSF EPSCoR activities with on-going educational and outreach initiatives in the state, create new initiatives, and increase the participation of underrepresented groups in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology.
