________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This project creates a hybrid cloud infrastructure as a scientific computing gateway that promotes and supports inter-disciplinary, multi-institutional research in science, engineering, biomedicine, and the social sciences. The hybrid cloud platform also promotes regional and national research collaboration, as a portion of the resources is integrated into the Open Science Grid (OSG). Many institutes with multi-institutional research projects headquartered at University of Southern California (USC), along with their regional and national collaborators, benefit from use of the OSG. It also extends the impact of their research outcomes and the projects themselves, as the system offers various ways to share research outputs and knowledge with external collaborators. The planned support for regional universities and integration with OSG increases opportunities to serve a broader community.A broad research community is supported by this system by providing access to public and private cloud services as well as local high performance computing (HPC) and data resources. The design of the hybrid cloud system facilitates the creation of customizable, virtualized platforms and reproducible, container-based application services that enable multi-dimensional computing and data solutions. Researchers are able to pick and choose from a standard service catalogue to build pre-defined virtual machines and containerized applications, or, if necessary, create their own specialized environments. Along with built-in security, reproducible service modules, and the capability of creating and sharing customized environments, the hybrid cloud system bridges multi-disciplinary research domains and enhances the usability of advanced cyberinfrastructure for improved research productivity.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.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This项目创建了混合云基础设施，作为促进和支持跨学科、科学、工程、生物医学和社会科学的多机构研究。混合云平台还促进了区域和国家研究合作，因为部分资源被整合到开放科学网格(OSG)中。许多总部设在南加州大学(USC)的多机构研究项目的研究所及其区域和国家合作者都受益于OSG的使用。它还扩大了他们的研究成果和项目本身的影响，因为该系统提供了与外部合作者分享研究成果和知识的各种方式。对地区性大学的计划支持以及与OSG的集成增加了服务更广泛社区的机会。该系统通过提供对公共和私有云服务以及本地高性能计算(HPC)和数据资源的访问，为广泛的研究社区提供支持。混合云系统的设计有助于创建可定制的虚拟化平台和可复制的基于容器的应用程序服务，从而实现多维计算和数据解决方案。研究人员能够从标准服务目录中挑选，以构建预定义的虚拟机和容器化应用程序，或者在必要时创建自己的专用环境。除了内置的安全性、可复制的服务模块以及创建和共享定制环境的能力外，混合云系统还连接了多学科研究领域，并增强了先进网络基础设施的可用性，以提高研究生产率。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。
