Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC): Collaboration for Education, Outreach and Training

美国国家科学基金会od / oci提案编号：0726077首席研究员：Dale smith机构：俄勒冈大学提案标题：网络启动资源中心（NSRC）：该提案延续了NSRC在国际技术交流、工程援助、培训、设备和培训材料运输以及其他促进全球网络技术采用、意识和连接的活动方面的活动。最终目标是通过互联网加强和实现美国科学家和发展中国家合作者之间的国际合作。知识价值在于世界各地网络领域的知识进步。NSRC的方法在建立和利用信任关系方面采取了长期的方法，这在某种程度上是新颖的。这些活动的更广泛影响是全球性的，直接涉及建立和改善基础网络基础设施，包括物理（网络连接）和人类，这是使国际科学努力蓬勃发展所必需的。这些资源对于让世界发展中地区的研究人员参与开发人员的工作至关重要。该提案强调针对非洲的活动。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

National Science FoundationOD/OCIProposal Number: 0726077Principal investigator: Dale SmithInstitution: University of OregonProposal Title: Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC): Collaboration for Education, Outreach and TrainingProject Summary This proposal continues the activities of NSRC around international technical exchange, engineering assistance, training, equipment and training material conveyance, and other activities promoting network technology adoption, awareness and connectivity around the world. The end goal is to enhance and enable international collaboration via the Internet between US scientists and collaborators in developing countries. The intellectual merit lies in the knowledge advancement in networking areas in places all over the world. NSRC's approach is somewhat novel in taking the long term approach in building and then leveraging trusted relationships. The broader impact of these activities is global in scope and speaks directly to establishing and improving underlying cyberinfrastructure, both physical (network connectivity) and human, that is necessary to allow international scientific endeavors to flourish. Such resources are crucial to engage researchers in developers in developing areas of the world. The proposal emphasizes activities targeting Africa.This award was co-funded by NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering.
