Major scientific research initiatives and enterprises are global in nature, requiring national cyberinfrastructure capabilities to not only be interoperable worldwide but to be designed to support collaborations spanning national boundaries. Collective knowledge and skills of teams is increasingly required to solve the key technical and scientific issues facing us today. In order to realize continued scientific discovery in the United States, international collaboration in interoperable forms of large-scale distributed computing, access to remote data, development of collaboration technologies and skill sets are required. Many scientific projects are international in scope, necessitating collaboration across borders, including the coordination of resources . International collaborations to construct telescopes with associated virtual observatories (such as LSST, DES and SKA), particle detectors (such as ATLAS and CMS for the Large Hadron Collider), climate (IPCC) and biological and environmental data repositories are already underway. This project supports international virtual research organizations (IVROs) that promote and enable efficient collaboration and co-operation of researchers and developers in multiple countries. It aims to seed the development of new, innovative cyberinfrastructure features enabling international scientific collaboration for scientific advances. It builds on existing relationships and activities previously established by the PIs and institution. The project directly supports the participation of multiple U.S .participants (senior and junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students) in workshops, and to interact, communicate, and collaborate in small research and development "seed" projects with international partners from multiple countries in Europe and Asia. The project provides an annual series of forums for publicly sharing cutting-edge research, education and training experiences covering all aspects of cyberinfrastructure, including distributed data management, system resilience, performance issues with scaling, efficient mechanisms for training and support. The project focuses on the development and study of strong International Virtual Research Organizations promoting interoperability of national cyberinfrastructures for international research. These IVROs are intended to facilitate defining and developing strategies and action plans for collaborative projects, and activities leading to the availability of high end middleware tools, and interoperability of national cyberinfrastructures for addressing and resolving grand science challenges through advancing cyberinfrastructure and computational science.This is designated as a Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI) award and is co-funded by NSF's Office of International and Integrative Activities and the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engieering.

主要的科学研究举措和企业具有全球性，要求国家网络基础设施能力不仅要在全球范围内互通，而且要设计成支持跨越国界的合作。团队的集体知识和技能越来越需要解决我们今天面临的关键技术和科学问题。 为了在美国实现持续的科学发现，需要在可互操作的大规模分布式计算、远程数据访问、开发协作技术和技能组合等方面开展国际协作。 许多科学项目都是国际性的，因此需要进行跨界合作，包括协调资源。国际合作已经在进行，以建造具有相关虚拟天文台（如LSST，DES和SKA），粒子探测器（如ATLAS和大型强子对撞机的CMS），气候（IPCC）以及生物和环境数据库的望远镜。该项目支持国际虚拟研究组织（IVRO），促进和实现多个国家的研究人员和开发人员的有效协作与合作。它旨在为新的、创新的网络基础设施功能的开发提供种子，使国际科学合作能够促进科学进步。它建立在PI和机构之前建立的现有关系和活动的基础上。 该项目直接支持多名美国参与者（高级和初级教师，博士后研究员，研究生）参加研讨会，并与来自欧洲和亚洲多个国家的国际合作伙伴在小型研发“种子”项目中进行互动，交流和合作。该项目每年举办一系列论坛，公开分享尖端研究、教育和培训经验，涵盖网络基础设施的各个方面，包括分布式数据管理、系统复原力、扩展性能问题、有效的培训和支持机制。 该项目的重点是发展和研究强大的国际虚拟研究组织，促进国家网络基础设施的互操作性，以促进国际研究。 这些IVRO旨在促进为协作项目定义和制定战略和行动计划，以及导致高端中间件工具可用性的活动，和国家网络基础设施的互操作性，通过推进网络基础设施和计算科学来应对和解决重大科学挑战。这被指定为跨虚拟研究所的科学（SAVI）奖，由NSF的国际和综合活动办公室和计算机和信息科学与工程局资助。
