CI-SEEDS: Seeding the Next Generation Cyberinfrastructure EcosystemThe goals of CI-SEEDS are to: 1) establish an exemplar workforce development program for training researchers that are prepared to solve today's interdisciplinary science problems, and that will increase the recruitment, retention, and graduation rate of domestic students in doctoral programs relevant to a cyberinfrastructure-enabled society; 2) build a common vision that leverages the established cyberinfrastructure at Clemson to enable transformative research in areas of University emphasis; and 3) lead a set of activities with the broad academic community for curriculum planning that will support interdisciplinary computational and data-enabled science. The Intellectual Merit of this project is in developing a model workforce development program with a unifying research thrust, guided by the science of cyberinfrastructure, and motivated by strong NSF-funded research in data-enabled science and data. The project funds a summer "Cyberinfrastructure Bootcamp" for beginning graduate students which is coordinated with an REU program as a single program through CI-SEEDS. CI-SEEDS provides a framework to fund and further support beginning graduate students in their first two years of graduate study, with the goal of significantly increasing the probability of successful completion of a Ph.D. degree. CI-SEEDS catalyzes planning activities for new academic programs in collaborative computing research.The Broader Impacts of this project are very significant. CI-SEEDS builds upon an established recruiting program at Clemson that is reaching far more females and underrepresented student groups than the national average. The project creates a path for graduate study for undergraduate students, and provides a foundation for new Ph.D. students in collaborative computing. The project leverages the Computer Science Division's longstanding relationship with the Clemson Computing and Information Technology division, the state-funded CyberInstitute, and the world-class supercomputing facilities, education, and training at Clemson. The project also leverages existing awards for student travel to SC, and the SC/TN EPSCoR Track-2 award with established connections to undergraduate-serving and minority institutions throughout South Carolina and the region. CI-SEEDS serves as a model program to increase the recruitment and graduation rate of domestic doctoral students in interdisciplinary computing research areas.

CI-种子：培育下一代网络基础设施生态系统CI-SEEDS的目标是：1）建立一个示范性的劳动力发展计划，以培养准备解决当今跨学科科学问题的研究人员，并将增加与网络基础设施相关的博士课程的国内学生的招聘，保留和毕业率。2）建立一个共同的愿景，利用克莱姆森已建立的网络基础设施，使大学重点领域的变革性研究成为可能; 3）与广泛的学术界一起领导一系列活动，以进行课程规划，支持跨学科的计算和数据科学。 该项目的智力价值在于开发一个具有统一研究方向的劳动力发展计划模型，以网络基础设施科学为指导，并受到NSF资助的数据科学和数据研究的激励。该项目资助了一个夏季“网络基础设施训练营”，为开始研究生，这是协调与REU计划作为一个单一的计划，通过CI-SEEDS。 CI-SEEDS提供了一个框架，以资助和进一步支持开始研究生在他们的头两年的研究生学习，与显着增加成功完成博士学位的概率的目标。℃下CI-SEEDS促进了协作计算研究中新学术项目的规划活动。该项目的广泛影响非常重要。CI-SEEDS建立在克莱姆森既定的招聘计划的基础上，该计划覆盖的女性和代表性不足的学生群体远远超过全国平均水平。该项目为本科生的研究生学习开辟了道路，并为新的博士学位提供了基础。协同计算的学生。该项目利用了计算机科学部门与克莱姆森计算和信息技术部门、国家资助的网络学院以及克莱姆森世界一流的超级计算设施、教育和培训的长期关系。该项目还利用现有的奖项为学生前往SC，和SC/TN EPSCoR轨道2奖与整个南卡罗来纳州和该地区的本科生服务和少数民族机构建立联系。CI-SEEDS作为一个示范计划，以提高跨学科计算研究领域的国内博士生的招聘和毕业率。
