Support of Campus Cyberinfrastructure at Non-Research Intensive and EPSCoR Institutions

这个为期两年的项目增强了校园网络基础设施和具有显著研究项目的高校的外部连接，即使该机构可能不是以研究为主要重点。它提供以校园基础设施和外部连接为重点的研讨会，以支持研究和教学，并提供“老虎团队”校园访问，以协助技术实施。第二代互联网在改善校园基础设施、举办以校园为重点的网络性能研讨会，以及提供促进校内外合作的工具等方面取得了良好的成绩。它还支持国家科学基金会代表代表性不足的机构和那些在刺激竞争性研究实验计划（EPSCoR）计划中确定的州的机构的努力，以升级基础设施并加强研究和非研究活动。研讨会涵盖了升级校园基础设施和高带宽（1、10、40、100 Gb/s）外部连接的技术、组织和管理方面。老虎小组的访问将包括技术实施方面的专家建议，以及网络管理员和首席信息官级别的管理问题。它将产生一个最佳实践手册，根据项目的发现。该项目扩大了能够参与校园网络基础设施项目的校园数量，如极限科学与工程发现环境（XSEDE）和校园网络基础设施-网络基础设施与工程（CC-NIE）奖励合作，并使用标准通信机制（包括Internet2的网站）广泛传播项目成果。这将产生广泛的影响，从分析校园网络基础设施的障碍和需求的解决方案，以及受益于非研究密集型校园，否则将无法参与其中，包括远程教学。

This two-year project enhances campus network infrastructure and external connectivity of colleges and universities having notable research projects, even though the institution may not be primarily research-focused. It offers workshops focused on campus infrastructures and external connectivity to support research and teaching, and "Tiger Team" campus visits to assist with technical implementation. It builds upon Internet2's track record in campus infrastructure enhancement, campus-focused network performance workshops, and tools to foster intra- and inter-campus collaboration; it also supports NSF efforts on behalf of under-represented institutions and those in states identified in the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program, to upgrade infrastructures and enhance research and non-research activities. The workshops cover technical, organizational, and administrative aspects of upgraded campus infrastructure and high-bandwidth (1, 10, 40, 100 Gb/s) external connectivity. The Tiger Team visits will include expert advice on technical implementation, and Network Administrator and CIO-level administrative issues. It will result in a Best Practices manual informed by the project's findings. The project broadens the volume of campuses capable of participating in campus cyberinfrastructure-based projects, such as the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) and Campus Cyberinfrastructure-Network Infrastructure and Engineering (CC-NIE) award collaboration, and uses standard communications mechanisms (including Internet2's website) to broadly disseminate project findings. This will have a broad impact from analysis of solutions to barriers and needs in campus cyberinfrastructure, and the benefit non-research-intensive campuses that would not participate otherwise, including remote instruction.
