CC* Networking Infrastructure: Claflin Research Network

该奖项通过一个名为“克拉夫林研究网络”的协调信息技术扩展计划来支持克拉夫林大学的研究能力。克拉夫林大学正在建设一个10 Gbps的科学DMZ，通过重新设计的校园边界优先考虑科学数据流来支持大数据研究项目。克拉夫林的合作者包括南卡罗来纳州医科大学（MUSC）、克莱姆森大学以及许多国内机构和一些国际机构。该项目极大地提高了克拉夫林在世界各地地理位置分散的研究合作者之间共享数据的能力。该项目将为克拉夫林提供更具竞争力的能力，并使克拉夫林成为创新生态系统中更强大的研究合作伙伴。此外，该项目还为克拉夫林的本科生和研究生研究人员提供了更大的研究和合作机会，使他们能够获得我们机构目前无法获得的数据和技术。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports Claflin University's research capabilities through a coordinated information technology expansion plan called the "Claflin Research Network". Claflin University is building a 10Gbps Science DMZ supporting Big Data research projects through a re-designed campus border prioritizing science data flows. This new component enables the transfer of very large datasets over long distances in a friction-free path. Claflin's collaborators include the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Clemson University, and many domestic institutions as well as several international institutions. This project greatly increases Claflin's ability to share data between research collaborators in geographically dispersed institutions around the world.This project will provide Claflin with the ability to be more competitive and makes Claflin a stronger research partner with the innovation ecosystem. In addition, this project allows for greater research and collaboration possibilities for Claflin's undergraduate and graduate student researchers giving them access to data and technology not currently available at our institution.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.
