CI Empower proposes a new model for more effective engagement of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the cyberinfrastructure ecosystem through a collaboration among Morgan State University (Maryland), Jackson State University (Mississippi), Claflin University (South Carolina), and South Carolina State University (South Carolina), and Clemson University (South Carolina). The project plans a regional, long term empowerment model expected to have a permanent impact on each institution's research capacity, and transform the way research is done on partner HBCU campuses. In the planning year, each campus: develops a written cyberinfrastructure (CI) plan and an on-campus team committed to implementing the plan; establishes cyberinfrastructure governance for on-going input; identifies external funding opportunities; and further develops a campus engagement plan. A focused external advisory group informs the efforts of the project. By developing campus CI plans, a strategic path for improving campus physical CI resources provides the basis to seek both internal and external funding sources. Technology transfer occurs by sharing of best practices among campuses, among proposal partners and also with the broader NSF-funded CI communities. The mix of technical staff, scientists, research administrators and information technology administrators involved in the planning effort come together to develop plans to help researchers achieve their research goals through access to better on-campus and more off-campus research resources.

CI Empower通过摩根州立大学(马里兰州)、杰克逊州立大学(密西西比州)、克拉夫林大学(南卡罗来纳州)、南卡罗来纳州州立大学(南卡罗来纳州)和克莱姆森大学(南卡罗来纳州)之间的合作，为历史上一直是黑人的学院和大学(HBCU)更有效地参与网络基础设施生态系统提出了一个新模式。该项目规划了一个地区性的长期赋权模式，预计将对每个机构的研究能力产生永久性影响，并改变合作伙伴HBCU校园进行研究的方式。在规划年，每个园区：制定书面的网络基础设施(CI)计划和致力于实施该计划的校园团队；为持续的投入建立网络基础设施治理；确定外部资金机会；并进一步制定校园参与计划。一个有重点的外部咨询小组为该项目的努力提供信息。通过制定校园CI计划，改善校园实物CI资源的战略路径为寻求内部和外部资金来源提供了依据。技术转让通过在校园之间、提案合作伙伴之间以及更广泛的NSF资助的CI社区之间共享最佳实践来实现。参与规划工作的技术人员、科学家、研究管理员和信息技术管理员共同制定计划，通过获得更好的校内和校外研究资源来帮助研究人员实现他们的研究目标。
