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：EPS-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案（公法 111-5）资助。由新墨西哥州 EPSCoR 领导的研究基础设施改善校园间和校园内网络连接项目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。西西北医科大学校园网络的升级将减少网络文件传输延迟，并在校园新地点建立网络访问。 NNMC 将通过以下方式扩展校园宽带接入：1) 在校园内两座建筑之间建立新的光纤链路，2) 升级校园网络交换机和路由器，以及 3) 提供新的校园范围内的无线服务。 NTC 网络改进将利用更大的互联网来支持 2000 年启动的 Hogan 项目，该项目有四个主要组成部分：1）先进无线和高性能计算方面的教育； 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) 建设 Dinè Grid，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。 智力优势 校园网络预计将提高可靠性和安全性，促进综合图书馆搜索和检索系统的开发，并增加学生对协作技术和在线研究工具的访问。此次升级将有助于部署与新墨西哥州计算应用中心的园区网关连接。该项目将增强 NSF EPSCoR 研究基础设施改进轨道 1 和轨道 2 在气候和水资源领域的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是农村、地区、少数民族服务机构，其使命和教育计划旨在促进劳动力发展。 NNMU 70% 是西班牙裔，5% 是美洲原住民。 NTC 99% 是美国原住民，WNMU 49% 是西班牙裔，2% 是美国原住民。 这三个机构为大量女性和非传统学生提供服务。项目活动带来的宽带和网络连接的改进将丰富课程内容、扩大授课范围和加强劳动力发展计划。通过这些投资，将能够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。
