Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon IRNC:SP Cultivating the International Research and Education Network Fabric: An Essential Underpinning of Cyberinfrastructure PI: Dale Smith, co-PI: Steven HuterThe Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) develops and enhances network infrastructure for collaborative research, education, and international partnerships, while promoting teaching and training via the transfer of technology. This IRNC project focuses NSRC activities on cultivating cyberinfrastructure via technical exchange, engineering assistance, training, conveyance of networking equipment and technical reference materials, and related activities to promote network technology adoption, and enhanced connectivity in R&E sites around the world. The end goal is to enhance and enable international collaboration via the Internet between U.S. scientists and collaborators in developing countries.The broader impacts of NSRC's activities are global in scope -- helping to establish and improve underlying cyberinfrastructure, both physical (network connectivity) and human which are necessary to allow international scientific endeavors to flourish. Such resources are crucial to engage researchers in developing areas of the world. As an additional benefit, the NSRC's work builds goodwill for U.S. scientists, the NSF, and the U.S. government in universities, research institutions, and network operator groups throughout the developing world.Regarding intellectual merit, NSRC's work advances knowledge and understanding within the fields of networking, telecommunications and information technology through the clarity of its focus: working to solve specific problems with people in the research and education environments of developing economies that seek to work together with their counterparts in the U.S. Improved infrastructure and increased available bandwidth enable international researchers to document and publish more local, indigenous data and publish more co-authored papers with U.S. scientists. The improved communications resulting from these efforts enhance collaboration between scientists and engineers on both ends of the connectivity spectrum; this ultimately helps attract a wider variety of ideas, information, talent, and resources to solving problems.

俄勒冈大学网络创业资源中心(NSRC)IRNC：SP培育国际研究和教育网络结构：网络基础设施的重要基础PI：Dale Smith，共同PI：Steven Huter网络创业资源中心(NSRC)为合作研究、教育和国际合作伙伴关系开发和增强网络基础设施，同时通过技术转让促进教学和培训。这个IRNC项目的重点是NSRC通过技术交流、工程援助、培训、网络设备和技术参考资料的运输以及相关活动来培育网络基础设施，以促进网络技术的采用，并增强世界各地研发基地的连通性。最终目标是加强和实现美国科学家和发展中国家合作者之间通过互联网进行的国际合作。NSRC活动的更广泛影响是全球性的--帮助建立和改进基础网络基础设施，包括物理(网络连接)和人力基础设施，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进来至关重要。作为一个额外的好处，NSRC的工作在整个发展中世界的大学、研究机构和网络运营商团体中为美国科学家、NSF和美国政府建立了良好的声誉。关于智力价值，NSRC的工作通过明确其重点来促进网络、电信和信息技术领域的知识和理解：努力解决发展中经济体研究和教育环境中的特定问题，这些人寻求与美国同行合作。改善的基础设施和更大的可用带宽使国际研究人员能够记录和发表更多本地的、并发表更多与美国科学家合著的论文。这些努力带来的通信改善加强了连接范围两端的科学家和工程师之间的合作；这最终有助于吸引更多的想法、信息、人才和资源来解决问题。
