LEARN - Lonestar Education And Research Network, a consortium of 41 organizations throughout Texas, is expanding opportunities for students and faculty at smaller college campuses to participate in research that relies on increasingly sophisticated network technology. LEARN has identified an initial set of smaller colleges to take part in the project and is providing these campuses with advanced network and performance monitoring technologies, the expertise to manage the infrastructure, training and assistance in increasing utilization of the underlying technologies, and a community of similarly engaged scholars and administrators across Texas.The specific objectives of this project are to1. Establish a small college collaborative environment within the LEARN community2. Improve network connectivity/services at each college campus for research and education3. Establish a network performance monitoring infrastructure4. Establish a means to facilitate the transfer of large data sets5. Deliver technical training to personnel at each campus6. Develop and implement an outreach program for informing/educating faculty, staff, and students at each college, and develop and disseminate project results.LEARN is partnering with national organizations in the implementation of this project. Projected impacts include increased opportunities for students to learn about and gain experience in advanced aspects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for which they might not otherwise have had an opportunity. This project can also extend to students and faculty at other campuses in Texas and can be replicated at other regional networks and smaller colleges throughout the United States.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.

学习-孤星教育和研究网络，一个联盟的41个组织在整个得克萨斯州，正在扩大机会，为学生和教师在较小的大学校园参与研究，依赖于日益复杂的网络技术。LEARN已经确定了一批参与该项目的小型大学，并为这些校园提供先进的网络和性能监控技术、管理基础设施的专业知识、培训和帮助，以提高基础技术的利用率，以及在德克萨斯州建立一个由类似参与的学者和管理人员组成的社区。在LEARN社区内建立一个小型的大学协作环境2。改善每个大学校园的网络连接/服务，以促进研究和教育3。建立网络性能监控基础设施4.建立便利大型数据集转移的手段5。为每个校区的人员提供技术培训6。制定和实施一项宣传/教育各学院教职员工和学生的外联方案，并制定和传播项目成果。LEARN正在与国家组织合作实施该项目。预计的影响包括增加学生学习和获得科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）高级方面经验的机会，否则他们可能没有机会。该项目也可以扩展到德克萨斯州其他校园的学生和教师，并可以在其他区域网络和美国各地的小型学院复制。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
