EAGER: Stimulating innovation in cross-disciplinary women studies research through cyber-enabled data management and informatics research systems.

这个EAGER项目正在探索被忽视的领域，涉及代表性不足的群体，特别是妇女：妇女的跨学科网络教育和妇女对我们的网络基础设施的独特贡献。该小组正开始在以下长期目标的背景下解决这些重要问题：在美国研究、历史、地球和行星科学、信息/图书馆学和工程学等学科中，培训各级大学教师和学生使用基于网络的工具（例如，共享数据库、互联网门户、监测设备、可视化、数据收集和分析工具）来收集、描述、比较和/或重用数据，以创建一个支持网络基础设施的科学和数字人文社区。该项目旨在：设计一个新的综合研究和学习计划，为学生使用网络基础设施能力（如仿真、建模和数据可视化）做好准备。项目目标：跨学科的教师团队将利用他们新获得的网络研究技能，开发和教授一门关于“妇女、水和工作”的交叉课程，包括在高性能计算中心（CAR-C）、地球数据分析中心（EDAC）以及美洲原住民和基于acequia的西班牙水系统进行实地工作。制定新计划，在网络基础设施工具和服务的开发、部署和支持方面培训和/或重组数字图书馆员。大学图书馆（UL）于2010年8月聘请了两名具有博士资格的信息科学家，他们具备地理空间数据管理、数据管理、生物信息学和信息科学方面的技能，以培养图书馆和其他教员的技能。增加传统上不使用网络基础设施仿真、建模和数据可视化工具的本科生群体的接触，特别是那些来自人文和社会科学或在STEM领域代表性不足的群体的学生。一门课程将由新墨西哥大学各个妇女研究项目的女教师开发和教授，重点关注新墨西哥州部落、普韦布洛和西班牙裔社区的水和妇女工作问题。指导跨学科，机构和文化的教师和学生团队，以提高网络基础设施支持的协作实验室解决研究问题，问题，任务等的有效性。新技能和态度的指导和培训是提案的根本，特别是如果它在未来作为CI-TEAM传播和/或扩散项目得到资助。这个概念将利用科学和工程图书馆中新兴的“电子研究中心（eRC）”（协作研究空间、可视化实验室、高性能计算中心的“店面”、数据墙等），以有计划和偶然的方式吸引学生和教师。利用大学现有的和新兴的举措来学习如何使用、推进和创建网络基础设施工具和服务（例如，开源软件开发、大规模数据库设计和管理、互联网门户、多核编程、建模和仿真工具）。例如，由研究副总裁成立、由PI van Reenen担任主席的“研究合作促进委员会”正在培养一批早期采用者和一系列研讨会，以发展网络支持、数据丰富、跨学科合作的愿景和实践。该项目在应用信息学技能和资源的基础上，对人文科学和科学之间的互动和合作的潜在利益进行了批判性的审视。长期成果，特别是在传播和传播阶段，将包括：-在妇女研究中使用更多的网络研究/信息学技能和应用-增加妇女在促进研究创造力方面的贡献-增加对妇女的认可？该项目的其他目标包括：-发展一个多学科的合作教学和研究团队-绘制妇女研究和过去合作的优势-创建一个以培训教学团队为基础的课程信息技能-出版和分发研究成果给全校的利益相关者

This EAGER project is exploring overlooked areas with regard to underrepresented groups, especially women: the interdisciplinary cyber-education of women and the unique contributions of women to our cyberinfrastructure. The team is beginning to address these important issue in the context of the following long term goal: Train university faculty and students at all levels in the use of cyber-based tools in American Studies, History, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Information/Library science, and Engineering to use of cyber-based tools (e.g., shared databases, internet portals, monitoring devices, visualization, data collection and analysis tools) to gather, depict, compare and/or reuse data to create a cyberinfrastructure-supported scientific and digital humanities community. This project aims to: Design a new integrative research and learning program to prepare students in the use of cyberinfrastructure capabilities such as simulation, modelling, and data visualization. Project Goal: The team of trans-disciplinary faculty with their newly acquired cyber-enabled research skills will develop and teach a cross-listed course in "Women, Water, and Work", including field work at the high performance computing center (CAR-C), in the Earth Data Analysis Center (EDAC), and in Native American and acequia-based Hispanic water systems. Devise new programs to train and/or retool digital librarians in the development, deployment, and support of cyberinfrastructure tools and services. The University Libraries (UL) hired two PhD qualified Information Scientists to arrive in August 2010 with skills in geospacial data management, data curation, bio-informatics, and information science to develop skills in both library and other faculty. Increase the exposure of undergraduate student populations that are not traditional users of cyberinfrastructure simulation, modeling and data visualization tools, especially those from the humanities and social sciences or from groups underrepresented in STEM fields. A course will be developed and taught by female faculty from the various women studies programs at UNM and will focus on water and women's work issues in New Mexico's Tribal, Pueblo, and Hispanic communities. Mentor teams of faculty and students across disciplines, institutions, and cultures, to improve the effectiveness of cyberinfrastructure-enabled collaboratories addressing a research problem, question, task, etc. Mentoring and training in new skills and attitudes are at the root of the proposal, especially should it be funded in the future as a CI-TEAM dissemination and/or diffusion project. The concept will utilize the emerging "e-Research Center (eRC)" in the science and engineering library (collaborative research spaces, a visualization lab, a "store-front" for the high performance computing center, a data wall, and the like) to engage students and faculty in planned and serendipitous ways. Use existing and emerging initiatives at the university to learn how to use, advance, and create cyberinfrastructure tools and services (e.g. open source software development, large scale database design and administration, Internet portals, multi-core programming, modeling and simulation tools). For example, a committee established by the VP for Research and chaired by PI van Reenen, the "Research Collaboration Enhancement Committee", is developing a group of early adopters and a series of seminars to grow the vision and practices of cyber-enabled, data-rich, trans-disciplinary collaboration. The project takes a critical look at the potential benefits of interaction and collaboration between the humanities and the sciences based on applying informatics skills and resources. Long-term outcomes, especially in the dissemination and diffusion phases, are to include: - More cyber-enabled research/informatics skills and applications in Women Studies research- Increased contributions of women in promoting research creativity- Increased recognition of women?s contributions to research creativity - Increased use of cyber-enabled and data-rich research systemsOther goals for the project include:- Developing a multidisciplinary collaborative teaching and research team- Mapping strengths in Women Studies and past collaborations- Creating a course based on training the instructional team in Informatics Skills- Publishing and distributing findings to campus-wide stakeholders
