The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) develops network communications infrastructure and local engineering capacity in areas of the world where inadequate research and education network connectivity poses a significant barrier to collaborations with US scientists and educators. By helping to establish and improve underlying cyberinfrastructure, both physical (network connectivity) and human (technical capacity), NSRC plays an effective role for the US science community by helping to incubate and build sustainable Internet infrastructure to enable international scientific research. The broader impacts of NSRC's activities are global in scope. NSRC's focus on teaching and training about network design and operations, combined with technically supporting international colleagues, results in the development of stable computer networks, managed by local hands, in many countries all over the world. NSRC achieves this through targeted capacity building activities and partnerships with universities, Internet service providers, industry, government and supranational agencies in Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America-Caribbean, and North America. NSRC exemplifies the NSF's stated strategic goal of "encouraging collaborative research and education across organizations, disciplines, sectors, and international boundaries." Through coordinated training programs, NSRC builds institutional capacity to support the research community, and leverages US research infrastructure to bring value to international researchers and educators. Through hands-on, lab-based curricula and a train-the-trainers approach, NSRC provides technical capacity development to thousands of network engineers working in hundreds of R&E institutions to augment networking expertise in regions of interest to NSF and the International Research Network Connections (IRNC) community.

网络创业资源中心 (NSRC) 在世界各地研究和教育网络连接不足对与美国科学家和教育工作者的合作构成重大障碍的地区开发网络通信基础设施和本地工程能力。通过帮助建立和改善物理（网络连接）和人力（技术能力）等基础网络基础设施，NSRC 帮助孵化和建设可持续的互联网基础设施以实现国际科学研究，从而为美国科学界发挥着有效作用。 NSRC 活动的更广泛影响是全球性的。 NSRC 专注于网络设计和运营方面的教学和培训，并与国际同行提供技术支持，从而在世界许多国家开发了由本地人员管理的稳定计算机网络。 NSRC 通过有针对性的能力建设活动以及与非洲、亚太地区、中东、拉丁美洲-加勒比地区和北美的大学、互联网服务提供商、行业、政府和超国家机构的合作伙伴关系来实现这一目标。 NSRC 体现了 NSF 既定的战略目标：“鼓励跨组织、学科、部门和国际边界的合作研究和教育”。通过协调一致的培训计划，NSRC 建立了支持研究界的机构能力，并利用美国的研究基础设施为国际研究人员和教育工作者带来价值。通过基于实验室的实践课程和培训师培训方法，NSRC 为数百个 R&E 机构工作的数千名网络工程师提供技术能力开发，以增强 NSF 和国际研究网络连接 (IRNC) 社区感兴趣的地区的网络专业知识。
