EPIC: Engaging People in CyberinfrastructureA collaboration led by Boston University and the University of Wisconsin-MadisonThe goal of Engaging People In Cyberinfrastructure (EPIC) is to build human capacity by creating awareness of the opportunities afforded through cyberinfrastruture (CI) and by educating and training a diverse group of people in all stages of life from K-12 to professional practice to fully participate in the CI community as developers, users, and leaders. Strategies designed to meet this goal include:1. Providing an integrated spectrum of computational science education and training in the use of tools and resources, for science and math education at all levels,2. Enabling access to advanced technologies and tools in education and outreach,3. Ensuring diversity by both supporting specific access and inclusion projects and infusing every aspect of EPIC with diversity, access, and inclusion, and4. Establishing a large energized community of educators, students, researchers, and citizens engaged in developing and using cyberinfrastructure.An extensive cohort of partners will implement the following activities that support these strategies: workshops and meetings; "train the trainers" activities; professional development, mentoring, and youth programs; diversity and accessibility programs; development of learning materials, software, and simulation tools, and online dissemination of materials, tools, resources, guides, reports and best practices.Intellectual Merit: EPIC will construct a human capacity building infrastructure that extends the CI community to include a much larger number of talented and diverse people as primary beneficiaries of CI. EPIC seeks to demonstrate the effects of using the proven community building practices of the successful Education, Outreach and Training Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (www.eot.org) program and extending these practices to engage larger, more diverse communities. EPIC will be independently evaluated to document the keys to success and to lay the foundation for major advances in scale-up and sustained systemic change.Broader Impact: The nature of CI as an agency-wide initiative makes community building essential to its success. By explicitly introducing our community building activity within CI initiatives, NSF has a natural pathway to inclusive behavior and processes. EPIC's focus on diversity will ensure that CI fully engages under-served populations, and accelerates the preparation of America's workforce for a global digital society. Demonstration and documentation of EPIC's practices will serve as a roadmap to NSF and other federal agencies. The project results will lay the foundation for future years as CI accelerates its impact upon every field of science and engineering.

史诗：让人们参与网络基础设施由波士顿大学和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校领导的合作让人们参与网络基础设施（EPIC）的目标是通过提高人们对网络基础设施（CI）所提供的机会的认识，并通过教育和培训从K-12到专业实践的各个生命阶段的多元化人群，以开发人员的身份充分参与CI社区，用户和领导者。 旨在实现这一目标的战略包括：1。为各级科学和数学教育提供计算科学教育和工具和资源使用培训的综合范围。在教育和外联方面促进获得先进技术和工具。通过支持具体的获取和包容项目，并将多样性、获取和包容融入EPIC的各个方面，确保多样性。建立一个由从事开发和使用网络基础设施的教育工作者、学生、研究人员和公民组成的充满活力的大型社区，一批广泛的合作伙伴将实施以下支持这些战略的活动：讲习班和会议;“培训培训员”活动;专业发展、辅导和青年方案;多样性和无障碍方案;开发学习材料、软件和模拟工具，并在线传播材料、工具、资源、指南、报告和最佳做法。EPIC将建立一个人力资源能力建设基础设施，扩大CI社区，将更多有才华和多样化的人作为主要受益者的CI。EPIC旨在展示使用成功的高级计算基础设施教育，推广和培训合作伙伴关系（www.eot.org）计划的成熟社区建设实践的效果，并将这些实践扩展到更大，更多样化的社区。将对EPIC进行独立评估，以记录成功的关键，并为扩大规模和持续系统变革的重大进展奠定基础。更广泛的影响：CI作为一项全机构倡议的性质使社区建设对其成功至关重要。通过在CI计划中明确介绍我们的社区建设活动，NSF拥有一条通往包容性行为和流程的天然途径。EPIC对多样性的关注将确保CI充分吸引服务不足的人群，并加速美国劳动力为全球数字社会做好准备。 EPIC实践的演示和文档将作为NSF和其他联邦机构的路线图。该项目的成果将为未来几年CI加速其对科学和工程各个领域的影响奠定基础。
