The Advanced CyberInfrastructure - Research and Educational Facilitation: Campus-based Computational Research Support project develops and implements strategies that serve to advance our nation's research and scholarly achievements through the transformation of campus computational capabilities and enhanced coupling to the national cyberinfrastructure environment. Among the project's collaborating institutions are the University of Hawaii, the University of Southern California, the University of Utah, the University of Wisconsin, and Clemson and Harvard Universities. The project brings together education and research institutions that are committed to the vision of advancing scientific discovery through a national network of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI) Research and Education Facilitators (ACI-REFs). Working together in a coordinated effort, the project is dedicated to the adoption of models and strategies to leverage the expertise and experiences of its members to maximize the impact of investment in research computing. Located on the campuses and fully embedded in their local environment, the mission of the ACI-REFs is to extend the reach and impact of campus and national research computing infrastructure on the science conducted by students and faculty. By building a cloud-like environment for advanced computing infrastructure and support, the project seeks to create a community that fosters seamless integration of cyberinfrastructure and domain researchers and expand the reach of researchers involved in the use of advanced cyberinfrastructure across campuses. The project also seeks to develop the expertise base across partner campuses to support information sharing and to facilitate the formation of extended local and national collaborations. The project explores the potential for the creation of a nationwide alliance of educators to empower local campus researchers to be more effective users of advanced cyberinfrastructure. In particular, the project seeks to work with the "long tail" of ACI users - those scholars and faculty members who traditionally have not benefitted from the power of massively scaled cluster computing but who recognize that their research requires access to more compute power than can be provided by their desktop machines.

先进的网络基础设施 - 研究和教育促进：基于校园的计算研究支持项目制定和实施策略，通过转变校园计算能力并增强耦合到国家Cyber​​infrastructure环境，从而促进我们国家的研究和学术成就。该项目的合作机构包括夏威夷大学，南加州大学，犹他大学，威斯康星大学，克莱姆森和哈佛大学。该项目汇集了致力于通过国家高级网络基础设施（ACI）研究和教育促进者（ACI-REFS）进行科学发现的愿景的教育和研究机构。该项目共同努力，致力于采用模型和策略，以利用其成员的专业知识和经验，以最大程度地利用投资在研究计算中的影响。 ACI-REF的使命位于校园中，完全嵌入其当地环境中，以扩展校园和国家研究计算基础设施对学生和教职员工进行的科学的影响和影响。通过为高级计算基础架构和支持建立类似云的环境，该项目旨在建立一个社区，以促进网络基础设施和领域研究人员的无缝整合，并扩大参与跨校园高级网络基础设施的研究人员的影响力。该项目还旨在在合作伙伴校园中建立专业知识基础，以支持信息共享并促进扩展的本地和国家合作的形成。该项目探讨了建立全国教育工作者联盟的潜力，以使当地校园研究人员成为高级网络基础设施的更有效用户。特别是，该项目试图与ACI使用者的“长尾巴”合作 - 传统上没有从大规模扩展集群计算的力量中受益的那些学者和教职员工，但他们认识到他们的研究需要比台式机提供更多的计算能力。
