This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Public Law 111-5).This project will renovate the existing regional optical research and education network infrastructure in South Carolina, the South Carolina Light Rail and C-Light. The project will lead to a higher bandwidth connection between South Carolina campuses and national research and education networks.The project will replace an existing router at the border of the C-Light network, in Greenville, with a carrier-class router and use this to peer with Internet2 and the North Carolina Research and Education Network in Charlotte, and with Southern Crossroads/Southern Light Rail, Internet2 and National Lambda Rail in Atlanta. The bandwidth of the connection between Atlanta and Greenville will be expanded and multiple optical waves will be used to connect Greenville and Charlotte. Campus Points of Presence within South Carolina Light Rail will be augmented with new switches.A number of research projects will benefit from the enhanced connectivity. These include: research on avionics at the Citadel; research at Claflin University into the structural mechanisms responsible for the stability of proteins; modeling studies of cloud formation over Antarctica conducted by Coastal Carolina University; the use of archeometrics to develop digital reconstructions of ancient buildings (also by Coastal Carolina University); modeling studies of galaxy collisions by a researcher at Francis Marion University; research into protein docking by investigators at the Medical University of South Carolina, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Tennessee; network analyses of signal transduction as well as research on tissue engineering and biofabrication at the Medical University of South Carolina; and the simulation of polymers, including biopolymers, their interactions with synthetic surfaces and other polymers, approaches to DNA sequencing and detection using nanopore techniques, and multi-scale modeling of materials, by investigators at the University of South Carolina. The project will provide infrastructure for research conducted at academic institutions within the state of South Carolina. Because a variety of different institutions, including two historically black colleges and universities, are being connected to South Carolina Light Rail through other funding, enhancing the connections between South Carolina Light Rail and the national research and education networks will benefit not only the South Carolina Light Rail principals, Clemson, the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina, but also a broader range of institutions throughout South Carolina. The project includes educational activities at Coastal Carolina University (a parallel programming course), South Carolina State University, and the South Carolina Governor's High School for Science and Mathematics (using the remote computing resources for classroom education).

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（Publy Law 111-5）资助的。该项目将翻新南卡罗来纳州南卡罗来纳州，南卡罗来纳州轻轨和C-Light的现有区域光学研究和教育网络基础设施。 该项目将导致南卡罗来纳州校园与国家研究和教育网络之间建立更高的带宽连接。该项目将替换格林维尔的C-Light Network边界的现有路由器，并带有一个运营商级的路由器，并将其与Internet2和北卡罗来纳州的北卡罗来纳州研究和教育网络相关，并在Charlotte和Southern Crossords/Southern Crossroads/Southern Light Rail Rail，Internit Light Rail，International Rail 2a和National Rail and anlambanta和National in National 2a中。 亚特兰大和格林维尔之间连接的带宽将扩大，并将使用多次光波来连接格林维尔和夏洛特。 南卡罗来纳州轻轨中的校园存在点将通过新的开关进行增强。许多研究项目将受益于增强的连接性。 其中包括：关于城堡的航空电子学研究；克拉夫林大学研究构成蛋白质稳定性的结构机制；沿海卡罗来纳大学进行的南极对云形成的建模；使用考古测量法开发古代建筑的数字重建（也是沿海卡罗来纳大学）；弗朗西斯·马里恩大学（Francis Marion University）研究人员对银河系碰撞的建模研究；南卡罗来纳州医科大学，南卡罗来纳大学和田纳西大学的研究人员研究蛋白质对接的研究；信号转导的网络分析以及南卡罗来纳州医科大学的组织工程和生物制造的研究；以及南卡罗来纳大学的研究人员的研究人员的研究人员，以及材料的多尺度建模，包括生物聚合物，包括生物聚合物，它们与合成表面和其他聚合物的相互作用。该项目将为在南卡罗来纳州的学术机构进行的研究提供基础设施。 因为各种不同的机构，包括两个历史上的黑人大学和大学，通过其他资金与南卡罗来纳州轻轨连接，增强了南卡罗来纳州轻轨与国家研究和教育网络之间的联系，不仅使南卡罗来纳州的南卡罗来纳州轻轨校长，南卡罗来纳大学和南卡罗来纳州南卡罗来纳大学和南卡罗来纳州南部的南卡罗来纳大学，而且还能使南部的南部范围更广阔。 该项目包括在卡罗来纳州沿海大学（平行编程课程），南卡罗来纳州立大学和南卡罗来纳州州长科学与数学高中（使用远程计算资源用于课堂教育）的教育活动。
