GENI, the Global Environment for Network Innovations, is a suite of research infrastructure that spans facilities across the United States. GENI aims to transform experimental research in networking and distributed systems, as well as emerging research into very large social-technical systems, by providing a suite of infrastructure for "at scale" experiments in future internets. Nationwide experiments began in Summer 2010. In the intervening five years, GENI has shown rapid growth in adoption by experimental researchers and is now expanding to over 50 GENI-enabled campuses. In addition, via programs such as Campus CyberInfrastructure and US Ignite, GENI technologies are being actively used to advance national science capabilities and to imagine and design next generation applications that address national priorities. Via commercialization of technologies such as Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization GENI has had a significant economic impact. This project supports the transition of GENI from a building phase overseen by the GENI Program Office (GPO) to an operational status managed by community organizations. As part of the project, the GPO will broadly engage the U.S. computer systems research community to develop a community consensus-based plan for transition. In conjunction with NSF the organizational structure identified by this plan will be established and GENI operations transferred with the project supporting operational expenses during the transition period.

GENI，即全球网络创新环境，是一套研究基础设施，横跨美国各地。GENI旨在通过为未来互联网的“大规模”实验提供一套基础设施，来改变网络和分布式系统的实验研究，以及向超大型社会技术系统的新兴研究。全国范围内的实验于2010年夏天开始。在其间的五年里，GENI在实验研究人员中的采用率迅速增长，现在正在扩展到50多个启用GENI的校园。此外，通过校园网络基础设施和美国Ignite等项目，GENI技术正被积极用于提升国家科学能力，并设想和设计满足国家优先事项的下一代应用程序。通过软件定义网络和网络功能虚拟化等技术的商业化，GENI产生了重大的经济影响。该项目支持GENI从由GENI方案办公室(GPO)监督的建设阶段过渡到由社区组织管理的运行状态。作为该项目的一部分，GPO将广泛参与美国计算机系统研究社区，以制定一项基于社区共识的过渡计划。将与国家科学基金会一起，建立该计划确定的组织结构，并将GENI业务与项目一起移交，以支持过渡期间的业务费用。
