Georgetown is upgrading high-end networking across the main and medical center campuses to support science faculty. These faculty routinely collaborate across the campuses, within and across disciplines, and with colleagues at other universities, at-large private research facilities, and National Labs as they research complex physics, genomics, functional magnetic resonance imaging, Internet search indexing, and other computationally-intensive topics. These network improvements enable end-to-end 10 Gbps connectivity among GU's science buildings, campus backbone, off-campus data center, Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX) Gigapop, and Internet2. 1Gbps or 10Gbps connections are provided to select locations within the buildings. The ability to share and analyze large datasets, and disseminate findings advances scientific and technological understanding. Improvements in GU's science facilities have led to increased applications and enrollments of undergraduate and graduate STEM students. This infrastructure is designed to further bolster STEM research and education at GU. Investments during the past 5 years have doubled the size of faculty in the Computer Science Department; built a new building for biology, chemistry, and physics; and enhanced other infrastructure to support research, including support of a computational core facility, creating an isolated security research network, and increased data storage capacity. This award is enabling over 300 Main Campus and Medical Center researchers to collaborate and broadly share their work on campus, connect equipment, enhance their ability to collaborate with researchers off campus, as well as benefit extensive basic sciences research on the contiguous medical campus.

乔治城大学正在升级主校区和医学中心校区的高端网络，以支持科学教师。这些教师经常在校园内，跨学科，并与其他大学，大型私人研究机构和国家实验室的同事合作，因为他们研究复杂的物理学，基因组学，功能性磁共振成像，互联网搜索索引和其他计算密集型主题。这些网络改进使GU的科学建筑，校园主干，校外数据中心，Mid-Atlantic Crossroads（MAX）Gigapop和Internet 2之间实现了端到端的10 Gbps连接。提供1Gbps或10 Gbps连接以选择建筑物内的位置。共享和分析大型数据集以及传播发现的能力可以促进科学和技术理解。GU科学设施的改善导致本科生和研究生STEM学生的申请和入学人数增加。该基础设施旨在进一步加强GU的STEM研究和教育。在过去的5年中，投资使计算机科学系的教师人数增加了一倍;为生物学，化学和物理学建造了一座新建筑;并加强了其他基础设施以支持研究，包括支持计算核心设施，创建隔离的安全研究网络，并增加了数据存储容量。该奖项使300多名主校区和医学中心的研究人员能够在校园内合作并广泛分享他们的工作，连接设备，提高他们与校外研究人员合作的能力，并使邻近医学校园的广泛基础科学研究受益。
