Northern New Mexico College (Northern) is establishing a dedicated research network fabric and Science DMZ that is: 1) connecting multiple teaching and research laboratories serving biology, chemistry, environmental science, and engineering; and 2) improving the capacity and efficiency of moving Terabytes (TBs) of data sets.The proposed network upgrades are permitting faculty and students to engage in high-throughput data analysis research. High-speed switches are allowing TBs of data transfers from storage nodes to multiple labs, including solar energy variables needed to analyze irradiance and solar power generation patterns; data sets of 3-D convection simulation computed by Northern's Aguila parallel Supercomputer; and TBs of ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing needed to understand the role of Cajal Bodies in the biogenesis of non-coding RNA in land plants.Northern serves a 72% Hispanic and 11% Native American student population. Northern?s recent development of Engineering, Biology, and Environmental Science programs has greatly increased access to four-year STEM degrees for northern New Mexicans. This CC*DNI project represents the next step in closing the STEM education gap that prevents Hispanics, the fastest growing ethnic group in the nation's labor force, and Native Americans from entering STEM professions. The remote experimental control features to lab equipment are also addressing the geographic challenge of campus access for students living in remote mountain villages, especially during winter months, and is allowing for the development of remote undergraduate research experiences known to support the success of minority populations studying STEM.

北新墨西哥学院（Northern New Mexico College）正在建立一个专门的研究网络结构和科学DMZ，它是：1)连接多个教学和研究实验室，服务于生物学、化学、环境科学和工程学；2)提高移动tb级数据集的容量和效率。拟议的网络升级使教师和学生能够从事高通量数据分析研究。高速交换机允许tb级数据从存储节点传输到多个实验室，包括分析辐照度和太阳能发电模式所需的太阳能变量；北方Aguila并行超级计算机计算的三维对流模拟数据集；和TBs的核糖核酸（RNA）测序需要了解Cajal小体在陆地植物非编码RNA的生物发生中的作用。北学院为72%的西班牙裔学生和11%的美洲原住民学生提供服务。北部?最近，工程、生物和环境科学项目的发展大大增加了新墨西哥北部地区获得四年制STEM学位的机会。这个CC*DNI项目代表了缩小STEM教育差距的下一步，这种差距阻碍了美国劳动力中增长最快的西班牙裔和美国原住民进入STEM职业。实验室设备的远程实验控制功能也解决了居住在偏远山村的学生进入校园的地理挑战，特别是在冬季，并且允许开发远程本科研究经验，以支持少数民族学习STEM的成功。
