This project will develop and deploy educational modules on a specificform of CyberInfrastructure (CI), statewide across an EPSCoR state(Oklahoma), regionally among several EPSCoR and non-EPSCoR states, andnationally, targeted initially at scalable bioinformatics education andresearch efforts, but also accessible and applicable to education andresearch across all science and engineering disciplines. By leveragingexisting CI and bioinformatics software technologies (Condor andBLAST), as well as PCs that are already in service for desktop use,this CI-TEAM project will: enable CI education and research; traintechnicians in CI deployment, configuration and management; enablebioinformatics education and research by providing BLAST over Condor;enable education and research across the full spectrum of science andengineering. This project will use BLAST as a kickstart application, toengage the interest of potential additional collaborators. In addition,this project will support a large number of projects unrelated toBLAST, including microarray data analysis, statistical inference,phylogenetics, computational evolution, genomic and proteomic bioarrayanalysis, genetic algorithms, brain region modeling, high performancenetworking, high energy physics, cyberinfrastructure development anddeployment, nanotechnology, heat transport, flood forecasting, weatherradar data mining and analysis, robot learning, scientific datarepresentation, distributed scheduling, unfolding neutron spectra,gravity simulation, laser tweezer manipulation. This project will advance discovery and understanding in Grid computing, bioinformatics and a wide variety of other disciplines. It will broaden participation by including participants from minority serving, high school, 2-year, 4-year, Masters-granting and PhD-granting institutions, most of them in EPSCoR states. The Condor pool will enhance infrastructure by providing resources to dozens of scientists at the participating institutions. Dissemination will include the University of Oklahoma's annual Oklahoma Supercomputing Symposium, which attracts hundreds of academic, government and industry representatives from over a dozen states; the project team will also give talks at other conferences and will establish a website. Education will be enhanced not only by the Condor and BLAST education modules, but also because several of the research projects that will use the Condor flock have substantial education components, and some are entirely focused on education.

该项目将在特定形式的网络基础设施（CI）上开发和部署教育模块，覆盖EPSCoR州（俄克拉荷马州）的全州范围，几个EPSCoR州和非EPSCoR州的区域范围，以及全国范围，最初针对可扩展的生物信息学教育和研究工作，但也可用于所有科学和工程学科的教育和研究。通过利用现有的CI和生物信息学软件技术（Condor和blast），以及已经用于桌面使用的pc机，这个CI- team项目将使CI教育和研究成为可能；培训技术人员CI部署、配置和管理；通过在秃鹰上提供BLAST，使生物信息学教育和研究成为可能；促进科学和工程领域的教育和研究。该项目将使用BLAST作为启动应用程序，以吸引潜在的其他合作者的兴趣。此外，该项目将支持大量与blast无关的项目，包括微阵列数据分析、统计推断、系统发育、计算进化、基因组和蛋白质组生物阵列分析、遗传算法、大脑区域建模、高性能网络、高能物理、网络基础设施开发和部署、纳米技术、热传输、洪水预报、天气雷达数据挖掘和分析、机器人学习、科学数据展示、分布式调度，展开中子谱，重力模拟，激光镊子操作。这个项目将促进网格计算、生物信息学和其他各种学科的发现和理解。它将扩大参与范围，包括来自少数民族服务、高中、两年制、四年制、硕士和博士学位授予机构的参与者，其中大多数在EPSCoR州。秃鹰资源池将通过向参与机构的数十名科学家提供资源来加强基础设施。传播将包括俄克拉何马大学的年度俄克拉何马超级计算研讨会，该研讨会吸引了来自十几个州的数百名学术、政府和行业代表；项目团队还将在其他会议上发表演讲，并将建立一个网站。Condor和BLAST的教育模块不仅可以提高教育水平，还因为一些使用Condor群的研究项目具有大量的教育成分，有些项目完全专注于教育。
