Two-year colleges and smaller institutions of higher education play an important role in shaping the country's economic and computing workforce. Burgeoning interest in fields such as cloud computing and smart manufacturing have paved the path for adoption of advanced cyberinfrastructure practices in research and academic pursuits at these institutions. Expanding on the collective experience of groups engaged in various aspects of campus computing, the Building Research Innovation at Community Colleges (BRICCs) approach examines the research and educational needs from advanced cyberinfrastructure in such institutional settings. Led by CyberTeams, BRICCs offers an inclusive platform to develop and extend efforts in this space to the national level. BRICCs is a unique opportunity to study campus computing characteristics at smaller institutions and community colleges. BRICCs adopts a multi-pronged approach that focuses on learning about the problems at hand, partnering with institutions to enable solutions, and finally communicating its findings to the broader research community. Fostering partnerships between knowledgeable cyberinfrastructure professionals and these institutions is a critical aspect of BRICCs. Toward achieving this, BRICCs will host virtual and in-person community workshops to explore avenues to broaden the impact of advanced cyberinfrastructure on campus computing at all levels. BRICCs will produce learning resources, workshop reports, support future funding efforts, and propose campus networking models that align with the research and academic pursuits of smaller institutions. As a collective of computing expertise, BRICCs serve as a collaborative space to address similar challenges in advancing cyberinfrastructure adoption in research and educational settings.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.

两年的高等教育机构和较小的高等教育机构在塑造该国的经济和计算员工方面起着重要作用。 诸如云计算和智能制造等领域的兴趣蓬勃发展，为在这些机构的研究和学术追求中采用高级网络基础设施实践铺平了道路。 为了扩展从事校园计算各个方面的集体经验，社区学院的建筑研究创新（BRICCS）方法研究了此类机构环境中高级网络基础设施的研究和教育需求。在Cyber​​teams的带领下，Briccs提供了一个包容性的平台，可以在该领域发展和扩展该空间的努力。 BRICCS是学习较小机构和社区大学校园计算特征的独特机会。 BRICC采用了一种多管齐下的方法，专注于学习手头的问题，与机构合作以实现解决方案，并最终将其发现传达给更广泛的研究社区。在知识渊博的网络基础设施专业人士和这些机构之间建立伙伴关系是BRICC的关键方面。为了实现这一目标，BRICCS将举办虚拟和面对面的社区研讨会，以探索途径，以扩大高级网络基础设施对各个级别的校园计算的影响。 BRICC将生产学习资源，研讨会报告，支持未来的资助工作，并提出与较小机构的研究和学术追求相符的校园网络模型。作为一系列计算专业知识，BRICC是一个协作空间，可以解决研究和教育环境中的Cyber​​infrastructure采用的类似挑战。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
