Our research addresses the dual goals of improving Internet access in economically marginalized communities while also building local capacity towards regular digital content creation. We focus on Native American reservation communities, which have among the lowest Internet availability rates in the nation. Our work will develop new network technologies to enable reservation residents to meaningfully participate in the Internet, as both consumers and producers of Internet content, in order to create new opportunities for economic development. To ensure the success of our technical work, we will engage community members in the planning, implementation, and dissemination of our research. Our team is partnered with non-profit, Native-serving, and community organizations that are actively working to solve digital inequities.To create a more usable Internet, we comprehensively rethink middle- and last-mile network technologies to offer adaptive, smart connectivity. Our fundamental contributions include: the disaggregation of control and data planes and a new content upload and download platform that bridges the gap between the network core and end system devices via a smart middle mile; Television (TV) spectrum white space pilot link deployments and network management solution and to study usability in rural regions; and collaboration with community partners through a participatory action research protocol to identify digital information needs and develop a framework for Web-design training to increase the Internet presence of Native-owned organizations. Because Native American reservations share many geographical and population density characteristics with other rural regions, many aspects of our work will be applicable to extending the reach and usability of the Internet to other, non-Native communities within the U.S.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

我们的研究解决了改善经济边缘化社区互联网访问的双重目标，同时还为定期创建数字内容创建的当地能力。我们专注于美洲原住民预订社区，该保留社区是全美互联网可用性率最低的地方。 我们的工作将开发新的网络技术，以使预订居民能够有意义地参与Internet，因为消费者和互联网内容的生产者都可以为经济发展创造新的机会。为了确保我们的技术工作的成功，我们将吸引社区成员参与我们研究的计划，实施和传播。我们的团队与正在积极解决数字不平等的非营利，本地服务和社区组织合作。为了创建更可用的互联网，我们全面地重新考虑了中英里和最后一英里的网络技术，以提供适应性的，智能的连接性。我们的基本贡献包括：控制和数据平面的分类以及新的内容上传和下载平台，该平台通过智能中间英里弥合了网络核心和最终系统设备之间的差距；电视（电视）频谱空间飞行员链接部署和网络管理解决方案，并研究农村地区的可用性；并通过参与式行动研究协议与社区合作伙伴合作，以确定数字信息需求并为Web设计培训开发框架，以增加本地组织的互联网存在。 由于美洲原住民的预订与其他农村地区具有许多地理和人口密度特征，因此我们工作的许多方面适用于将互联网的覆盖范围和可用性扩展到美国颁发奖项内的其他非本地社区的覆盖范围和可用性，这反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识优点和广泛影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得的支持。
