CI-TEAM Implementation Project: Global CyberBridges (GCB); A Model Global Collaboration Infrastructure for e-Science between US and International Partners

Heidi L. Alvarez，佛罗里达国际大学，互联网增强研究与评估中心（CIARA）提案号：oci -0636031提案题目：CI-TEAM实施项目：Global CyberBridges (GCB)；摘要互联网增强研究与评估中心的“全球网络桥梁”项目是研究人员开发使用CI能力的新模型。全球网络桥梁不是基础CI研究的场所；它确实培养了新一代的科学家和工程师，他们能够将CI完全融入到他们不同学科的整个教育、专业和创造过程中。全球网络桥梁有潜力通过赋予科学教师CI能力来提高他们的发现率，促进跨学科和国际研究，提高少数民族研究生教育的有效性，并将这一变革过程制度化。其假设是，扩大研究生教育，使其包括对研究和教育CI的理解基础，将弥合信息技术社区和学科之间的鸿沟。这将导致一个改善系统的有效性，渗透，并利用CI在我们社会中代表性不足的部门。更广泛的影响：网络桥梁的核心是将不同学科和不同学术团体的研究生聚集在一起的机会。研究生合作建立他们对研究和教育CI的理解的人数越多，跨学科交流的机会就越大。全球网络桥梁项目吸引了来自世界各地的学生，包括巴西圣保罗大学、香港城市大学和中国科学院，从而扩大了这一影响。全球网络桥梁项目由网络基础设施办公室和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

Heidi L. Alvarez, Florida International University, Center for Internet Augmented Research and Assessment (CIARA) Proposal Number: OCI-0636031Proposal Title: CI-TEAM Implementation Project: Global CyberBridges (GCB); A Model Global Collaboration Infrastructure for e-Science between US and Int'l Partners Project AbstractThe Center for Internet Augmented Research and Assessment project 'Global CyberBridges' is a new model for the research workforce to develop competency in using CI. Global CyberBridges is not a locus for fundamental CI research; it does create a new generation of scientists and engineers who are capable of fully integrating CI into the whole educational, professional, and creative process of their diverse disciplines. Global CyberBridges has the potential to increase the rate of discovery for science faculty by empowering them with CI, to foster inter-disciplinary and international research, to improve the effectiveness of minority graduate education, and to institutionalize this change process. The hypothesis is that augmenting graduate student education to include a foundation of understanding in research and education CI will bridge the divide between the information technology communities and the disciplines. This will result in an improved system for the effectiveness, penetration, and utilization of CI with an underrepresented sector of our society. Broader Implications: At the core of CyberBridges is an opportunity for bringing together graduate students of diverse disciplines, and disparate academic communities. The larger the number of graduate fellows collaboratively building their understanding in research and education CI, the greater the opportunities are for cross discipline communication. Global CyberBridges amplifies this impact by involving students from around the world, including the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, City University of Hong Kong, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Global CyberBridges project is jointly funded by the Office of Cyberinfrastructure and the Office of International Science and Engineering.
