This award funds the creation of a virtual organization to promote sharing and use of community research infrastructures by Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) researchers. The project includes development and operation of a central resource with information about CISE community infrastructures, including how researchers can use the resources and participate in community events. The project also includes organizing annual community meetings for the researchers who are developing and hosting CISE community research infrastructures. Computing and information science is a rapidly evolving field that often requires current, state-of-the-art research infrastructure to conduct quality, significant research. This project fulfills a long-standing need to provide accurate and timely information about the community infrastructures collectively as well as individually and help researchers determine effective ways to conduct their research, particularly in an environment where there are limited local research resources available to them. Providing well-designed and managed community research infrastructure is one method of enabling a broader, diverse CISE research community to collaborate and participate in compelling research that will move CISE research frontiers forward.This project will develop a platform where researchers can learn about new resources and participate in community events to exchange information on research ideas and use of the infrastructures. It builds a unique "community of practice" focused on CISE research infrastructure. This will require research and experimentation to determine the most pressing community needs, to design modes of communications to streamline information flows, and to create a platform that enables the formation and growth of new collaborations across the community. This should provide new avenues for CISE research and research collaborations, particularly those that focus on emerging technologies and promote opportunities for unique, new research directionsThis 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.

该奖项资助创建一个虚拟组织，以促进计算机和信息科学与工程（CISE）研究人员共享和使用社区研究基础设施。 该项目包括开发和运营一个中央资源，其中包含有关CISE社区基础设施的信息，包括研究人员如何使用资源和参与社区活动。 该项目还包括为正在开发和主持CISE社区研究基础设施的研究人员组织年度社区会议。 计算和信息科学是一个快速发展的领域，通常需要当前最先进的研究基础设施来进行高质量的重要研究。 该项目满足了长期以来的需求，即提供有关社区基础设施的准确和及时的信息，并帮助研究人员确定进行研究的有效方法，特别是在当地研究资源有限的环境中。提供精心设计和管理的社区研究基础设施是使更广泛，多样化的CISE研究社区合作和参与引人注目的研究，将CISE研究前沿向前推进的方法之一。该项目将开发一个平台，研究人员可以了解新的资源，并参加社区活动，交流研究想法和基础设施的使用信息。 它建立了一个独特的“实践社区”，专注于CISE研究基础设施。 这将需要研究和实验，以确定最紧迫的社区需求，设计沟通模式，以简化信息流，并创建一个平台，使整个社区的新合作的形成和发展。这应该为CISE研究和研究合作提供新的途径，特别是那些专注于新兴技术和促进独特的新研究方向的机会的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
