The SX-TransPORT Pacific Islands Research and Education Network (PIREN) project supports the primary Research & Education (R&E) network backbone connecting Australia, New Zealand, Guam, and points beyond. Based in Hawaii, the project enables major advances in astronomy, oceanography, coral reef research, high energy physics, biomedical research, and data science. Primary PIREN partners are the Pacific Wave distributed exchange, which ensures that all PIREN-connect networks have full access to the entire domestic and global R&E network fabric, and the Network Startup Research Center (NSRC), which supports the development of campus networks as well as training and education for Pacific Islander network engineers, a highly underrepresented group in STEM.the PIREN project leverages both the international fiber optic systems that connect to multiple Hawaiian islands as well as the unparalleled international astronomy resources on Maunakea and Haleakala. The PIREN project also established and operates, in partnership with the University of Guam, the Guam Open Research and Education Exchange (GOREX), strategic new R&E network infrastructure in the Pacific that interconnects multiple submarine cable systems from the US, Asia and Australia to provide more resilient and lower latency paths among major research partners including Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Southeast Asia. PIREN is also the principal U.S. initiative to advance R&E networking among underserved Pacific Islands, which now have increased access to fiber-optic systems that interconnect in major hub locations such as Hawaii and Guam, and which are on the forefront of sustainability challenges arising from climate change and sea-level rise.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.

SX-TransPORT太平洋岛屿研究和教育网络（PIREN）项目支持连接澳大利亚，新西兰，关岛和其他地区的主要研究教育（RE）网络骨干。 该项目位于夏威夷，使天文学、海洋学、珊瑚礁研究、高能物理学、生物医学研究和数据科学取得重大进展。Piren的主要合作伙伴是太平洋波分布式交换机，它确保所有Piren连接网络都可以完全访问整个国内和全球R& E网络结构，以及网络启动研究中心（NSRC），它支持校园网络的开发以及太平洋岛民网络工程师的培训和教育，PIREN项目利用连接到多个夏威夷岛屿的国际光纤系统以及Maunakea和Haleakala上无与伦比的国际天文学资源。 PIREN项目还与关岛大学、关岛开放研究和教育交流中心（GOREX）合作，在太平洋地区建立并运营战略性新R E网络基础设施，该基础设施将来自美国、亚洲和澳大利亚的多个海底电缆系统互连，以提供更具弹性和更低延迟的路径日本、香港、新加坡和东南亚等主要研究合作伙伴。 PIREN也是美国在服务不足的太平洋岛屿之间推进R E网络的主要倡议，这些岛屿现在已经增加了在夏威夷和关岛等主要枢纽位置互连的光纤系统的接入，并且处于气候变化和海平面上升带来的可持续性挑战的前沿。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估而被认为值得支持。
