Scientific approaches relying on big data and on large data transfers require unique cyberinfrastructure, called Science DMZs, to support fast and easy data transfers and access of data. Typically, the benefits of these complicated Science DMZs have accrued to large, well-resourced “Research-Intensive” institutions, which compounds an already growing disparity between large and small institutions, especially often-lesser-resourced minority serving institutions. This also makes it much more difficult for smaller institutions with a primarily instructional mission to expand existing research and expose students to scientific approaches or collaborations, including those that may rely on big data.Through a partnership between Duke University, North Carolina Central University, Davidson College, and MCNC (NC’s regional research and education network provider), this project plans the creation of a shared Science DMZ (sS-DMZ) as a service of the North Carolina Research and Education Network so that lesser-resourced institutions do not have to bear all setup and maintenance costs and can instead commit their resources to local infrastructure, their scientific researchers and pursuit of new research grants. This project works with regional higher-ed institutions to 1) establish community trust and shared governance responsibility necessary to expand participation in a sS DMZ program and 2) architect the approach to build the technical solution of operating a sS-DMZ. The resulting proposal will also inform the feasibility of a sSDMZ in other Research and Education Networks in the United States as an approach to reduce overall costs while increasing access to Big Data science.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.

依赖大数据和大数据传输的科学方法需要独特的网络基础设施，称为科学非军事区，以支持快速轻松的数据传输和数据访问。通常，这些复杂的科学非军事区的好处已经累积到资源充足的大型“研究密集型”机构，这加剧了大机构和小机构之间本已日益扩大的差距，特别是资源往往较少的少数族裔服务机构。这也使得主要承担教学任务的较小机构更难扩大现有研究，让学生接触科学方法或合作，包括那些可能依赖大数据的研究方法或合作。通过杜克大学、北卡罗来纳中央大学、戴维森学院和MNC(北卡罗来纳州的地区性研究和教育网络提供商)之间的合作，该项目计划创建一个共享的科学非军事区(SS-DMZ)，作为北卡罗来纳州研究和教育网络的服务，这样资源较少的机构不必承担所有设置和维护成本，相反，可以将它们的资源用于当地基础设施、科学研究人员和寻求新的研究拨款。该项目与地区高等教育机构合作，1)建立社区信任和分担必要的治理责任，以扩大对SS非军事区计划的参与；2)设计建立SS-DMZ运营技术解决方案的方法。由此产生的提案还将告知在美国其他研究和教育网络中设立sSDMZ的可行性，作为一种在减少总体成本的同时增加对大数据科学的访问的方法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
