AbstractProposal Number: EPS-1005886Proposal Title: C2: Improving Broadband Connectivity for Tribal and Regional Colleges in New Mexico Institution: University of New MexicoThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This Research Infrastructure Improvement Inter-Campus and Intra-Campus Cyber Connectivity project led by New Mexico EPSCoR is designed to improve cyberinfrastructure at Western New Mexico University (WNMU), Northern New Mexico University (NNMU), and the Navajo Technical College (NTC). Upgrades to the WNMU campus network will reduce network file transmission delays and establish network access at new locations on the campus. NNMC will expand broadband access on campus by: 1) establishing a new fiber optic link between two buildings on campus, 2) upgrading campus network switches and routers, and 3) providing new campus-wide wireless service. NTC cyber improvements will leverage a larger Internet to the Hogan project initiated in 2000 that has four major components: 1) educating in advanced wireless and high performance computing; 2) partnership building within the computational science community; 3) deploying an advanced wireless network to serve the Navajo Nation's most remote communities; and 4) building the Dinè Grid which provides high value educational, telemedicine, public safety, research, and communication tools to the college and to the Navajo people.Intellectual MeritThe campus network is expected to improve reliability and security, enabling development of an integrated library search and retrieval system and increasing student access to collaboration technologies and online research tools. The upgrade will facilitate deployment of the campus gateway connection to the New Mexico Computing Applications Center. The project will enhance synergy among NSF EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Track-1 and Track-2 research efforts in the areas of climate and water resources.Broader ImpactsThe three institutions engaged in this project are rural, regional, minority-serving institutions with missions and educational programs geared toward workforce development. NNMU is 70% Hispanic and 5% Native American. NTC is 99% Native American and WNMU is 49% Hispanic and 2% Native American. The three institutions serve significant populations of female and non-traditional students. The broadband and cyber connectivity improvements resulting from the project activities will enable enrichment of course content, expanded delivery areas, and stronger workforce development programs. Enhanced collaboration with other institutions in New Mexico, including research and course sharing through distance education, will be enabled through these investments.

摘要提案编号：ps -1005886提案标题：C2：改善新墨西哥州部落和地区学院的宽带连接机构：新墨西哥大学该奖项由2009年美国复苏和再投资法（公法111-5）资助。该研究基础设施改善校际和校园内网络连接项目由新墨西哥州EPSCoR领导，旨在改善西新墨西哥大学（WNMU）、北新墨西哥大学（NNMU）和纳瓦霍技术学院（NTC）的网络基础设施。WNMU校园网的升级将减少网络文件传输延迟，并在校园的新位置建立网络访问。NNMC将通过以下方式扩大校园宽带接入：1)在校园两座建筑之间建立新的光纤链路；2)升级校园网交换机和路由器；3)提供新的校园无线服务。NTC网络改进将为2000年启动的霍根项目提供一个更大的互联网，该项目有四个主要组成部分：1)先进无线和高性能计算教育；2)在计算科学界建立伙伴关系；3)部署先进的无线网络，为纳瓦霍族最偏远的社区提供服务；4)建立Dinè网格，为学院和纳瓦霍人提供高价值的教育、远程医疗、公共安全、研究和通信工具。该校园网有望提高可靠性和安全性，促进综合图书馆搜索和检索系统的发展，并增加学生对协作技术和在线研究工具的访问。此次升级将促进校园网关连接到新墨西哥计算应用中心的部署。该项目将加强NSF EPSCoR研究基础设施改善轨道1和轨道2在气候和水资源领域研究工作之间的协同作用。更广泛的影响参与该项目的三个机构分别是农村、地区和少数民族服务机构，其使命和教育计划面向劳动力发展。NNMU有70%的西班牙裔和5%的印第安人。NTC有99%的印第安人，WNMU有49%的西班牙裔和2%的印第安人。这三所大学为大量女性和非传统学生提供服务。项目活动所带来的宽带和网络连接的改善将使课程内容更加丰富，交付领域更加广阔，劳动力发展计划更加有力。通过这些投资，将加强与新墨西哥州其他机构的合作，包括通过远程教育进行研究和课程共享。
