The Networks for European, American, African, and Arctic Research (NEA3R) collaboration is a cross-organizational project that will expand and enhance network services and capacity to support US research and education. NEA3R offers a collaborative suite of high-speed network connectivity offerings with additional targeted science support and measurement capabilities. The International Networks at Indiana University (IN@IU) team will jointly lead the NEA3R collaboration with an extensive set of partners and collaborators, including GÉANT, the European regional research and education network (REN), NORDUnet, the Nordic regional REN, and the east African REN, the UbuntuNet Alliance (UA). We will coordinate domestically with Internet2 and the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet). The NEA3R project will provide two high-speed US-Europe circuits to provide reliable production services with 24x7 NOC support. These circuits will be part of the Advanced North Atlantic (ANA) collaboration and will enable dependable, redundant capacity required by US researchers. These links will support advanced networking technologies, as well measurement and monitoring using NetSage. The NEA3R project will support a system of logical circuits, referred to as Sister Circuits, that are provided by partners including GÉANT’s ANA link between New York and Paris, two NORDUnet links with endpoints in Amsterdam, one to Svalbard, Norway, and the other to Kajaani, Finland, and the UbuntuNet alliance link between London and Cape Town, South Africa. The project will also assist large scale physics, astronomy, and weather satellite applications, and establish reliable paths to advance the use of network test beds, such as our partner FABRIC.NEA3R, through its resources and activities, has the potential to significantly enhance NSF-funded international science collaborations. Research partners include astronomy, high energy physics, and Earth observations, all of which can increase the economic competitiveness of the US. This project can enable faster time to scientific results and access to a broader set of resources and data. Through our extensive partnerships, NEA3R will provide enhanced infrastructure for research and education and provide US researchers and educators with access to a broad array of geographical, ethnic, and cultural resources. This increased access to educational materials and public engagement will, in turn, assist in the development of a diverse, globally competitive STEM workforce.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.

欧洲、美洲、非洲和北极研究网络 (NEA3R) 合作是一个跨组织项目，将扩大和增强支持美国研究和教育的网络服务和能力。 NEA3R 提供了一套高速网络连接产品的协作套件，并具有额外的有针对性的科学支持和测量功能。印第安纳大学国际网络 (IN@IU) 团队将与众多合作伙伴和协作者共同领导 NEA3R 合作，其中包括欧洲区域研究和教育网络 (REN) GÉANT、北欧区域 REN NORDUnet 以及东非 REN、UbuntuNet 联盟 (UA)。我们将在国内与 Internet2 和能源科学网络 (ESnet) 进行协调。 NEA3R项目将提供两条高速美国-欧洲线路，以提供可靠的制作服务和24x7 NOC支持。这些电路将成为高级北大西洋 (ANA) 合作的一部分，并将实现美国研究人员所需的可靠、冗余容量。这些链路将支持先进的网络技术以及使用 NetSage 的测量和监控。 NEA3R 项目将支持称为“姐妹电路”的逻辑电路系统，该系统由合作伙伴提供，包括纽约和巴黎之间的 GÉANT ANA 链路、两个端点位于阿姆斯特丹的 NORDUnet 链路（一个到挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛，另一个到芬兰卡亚尼），以及伦敦和南非开普敦之间的 UbuntuNet 联盟链路。该项目还将协助大规模物理、天文学和气象卫星应用，并建立可靠的路径来推进网络测试台的使用，例如我们的合作伙伴 FABRIC。NEA3R 通过其资源和活动，有潜力显着加强 NSF 资助的国际科学合作。研究合作伙伴包括天文学、高能物理和地球观测，所有这些都可以提高美国的经济竞争力。该项目可以更快地获得科学成果并获得更广泛的资源和数据。通过我们广泛的合作伙伴关系，NEA3R 将为研究和教育提供增强的基础设施，并为美国研究人员和教育工作者提供广泛的地理、种族和文化资源。教育材料和公众参与的增加反过来将有助于培养一支多元化的、具有全球竞争力的 STEM 劳动力队伍。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。
