EPS-0919440, South Carolina Research Authority, James R. Bottum, linked to EPS-0919436 (University of Tennessee Knoxville)Collaborative Research: An EPSCoR Desktop to Teragrid EcoSystemThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The partnership between South Carolina (SC) and Tennessee (TN) is based on existing and planned collaborations in advanced materials and systems biology research, and in knowledge domains where computational science is driving new approaches and insights. The project?s goal is to build cyberinfrastructure (CI) linked community specific knowledge environments that embody the desktop to TeraGrid ecosystem. In this ecosystem, the campus-based cyberinfrastructure at regional research institutions is an essential bridge for connecting faculty investigators to national resources such as the TeraGrid. The proposal aims to develop models that successfully bridge the current gap between desktop and TeraGrid.Intellectual Merit. The researchers will create a model desktop to TeraGrid ecosystem anchored by a campus-based CI layer that eventually designated a ?Track 3? regional research resource bridging campus investigators to TeraGrid. The need for such a model has been identified by the EDUCAUSE Campus Cyberinfrastructure Working Group and the Coalition for Academic Scientific Computing (unpublished report from workshop, July 2008). The researchers define and demonstrate how campuses can successfully leverage the TeraGrid program by enabling the systems biology and advanced materials applications. It is expected to achieve progress in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) diversity through partnerships with undergraduate and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The researchers plan to advance a TeraGrid Track 2 site?s experience with, and understanding of, the national middleware program while building mechanisms to access regional and TeraGrid resources seamlessly through a Science Gateway.Broader ImpactsSolving technical and communication challenges is essential to scaling use of the TeraGrid. This effort will significantly contribute to increasing the TeraGrid?s active user base above its current 1,000 user plateau. The SC/TN consortium includes partner undergraduate universities (College of Charleston, the Citadel) and HBCUs (Claflin University and South Carolina State University) engagement and training outreach opportunities for the region, and an innovative dissemination plan. This proposal leverages $100 M in combined federal, state and private funding in cyberinfrastructure.The proposed objectives focus on domain-specific collaborations with adequate computational support personnel, and a regional organization and communication plan, to achieve research-faculty led discovery outcomes.

EPS-0919440，南卡罗来纳州研究局，James R. Bottum，与EPS-0919436（田纳西州诺克斯维尔大学）相关联）协作研究：Teragrid EcoSystemstemstemstemstemstop的EPSCOR桌面，这是根据2009年《 2009年美国康复和重新依据》（公共法律111-5）资助的。南卡罗来纳州（SC）和田纳西州（TN）之间的合作关系基于高级材料和系统生物学研究中的现有和计划的合作，以及计算科学正在推动新方法和见解的知识领域。该项目的目标是构建网络基础架构（CI）链接的社区特定知识环境，以体现桌面到Teragrid生态系统。在这个生态系统中，区域研究机构的基于校园的网络基础设施是将教职员工调查员与Teragrid等国家资源联系起来的重要桥梁。该提案旨在开发成功弥合桌面和teragrid.intlectual功绩之间当前差距的模型。研究人员将创建一个由基于校园的CI层锚定的Teragrid生态系统的模型桌面，该层最终指定了“轨道3”？区域研究资源将校园调查员桥接到Teragrid。教育校园网络基础设施工作组和学术科学计算联盟已经确定了对这种模型的需求（2008年7月，研讨会的未发表报告）。研究人员定义并证明了校园如何通过启用系统生物学和高级材料应用来成功利用Teragrid计划。预计通过与本科和历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS）的伙伴关系（HBCUS），它将取得科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）多样性的进步。研究人员计划在建立机制以通过科学网关无缝地访问区域和teragrid资源的同时，推进Teragrid Track 2网站的经验和理解。BroaderImplasssolsoltossoltossoltsoltsossolting技术和沟通挑战对于扩展TeraGRID的使用至关重要。这项工作将极大地有助于将Teragrid的活跃用户群提高到其当前1,000个用户高原上。 SC/TN联盟包括合伙人本科大学（查尔斯顿学院，城堡）和HBCUS（克拉夫林大学和南卡罗来纳州立大学）的互动和培训外展机会，以及创新的传播计划。该提案利用网络基础设施的联邦，州和私人资金合并为100 m。拟议的目标集中在特定于领域的合作中，与充分的计算支持人员以及区域组织和沟通计划，以实现研究知识研究领导的发现发现。
