The University of Hawaii, in collaboration with Montana State University and the University of Nevada Reno, will host a workshop to gather the necessary baseline data to characterize cyberinfrastructure (CI) capabilities across EPSCoR jurisdictions and institutions. As these resources are required to drive data and compute-intensive science forward, this workshop will address the issues of historical underinvestment in CI resources and services in EPSCoR jurisdictions and the uneven distribution and availability of these resources across the nation. Activities and deliverables of this workshop aim to enhance CI access and capability for research and education across EPSCoR jurisdictions, including under-resourced institutions. The goals of this workshop are to increase knowledge of, and aid access to, CI capabilities across EPSCoR jurisdictions and beyond. Data generated by participants will allow insights into existing gaps, priorities, and challenges at local and national levels. First, participants will use the Research Computing and Data Capabilities Model (RCDCM) assessment tool paired with trainings to generate baseline CI data and ideas on how to increase CI access, planning, and partnerships. The workshop will include facilitated discussion, a case-study panel on regional collaboration, and group working sessions. The resulting open access report, publication, and related outreach activities will present aggregated and analyzed baseline data, interpreted findings, and planning and partnership initiatives to advance knowledge and understanding of participating EPSCoR institutions’ CI capabilities and intentions. The workshop will be co-located with the EPSCoR Project Directors and Project Administrators meeting in Portland, Maine (or online, per circumstances).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.

夏威夷大学将与蒙大拿州立大学和内华达大学雷诺分校合作，举办一次研讨会，收集必要的基线数据，以确定EPSCoR司法管辖区和机构的网络基础设施(CI)能力。由于需要这些资源来推动数据和计算密集型科学的发展，本次研讨会将讨论EPSCoR司法管辖区在CI资源和服务方面历来投资不足的问题，以及这些资源在全国范围内的不均衡分布和可用性。这次研讨会的活动和成果旨在加强跨EPSCoR司法管辖区，包括资源不足的机构的传播和信息获取以及研究和教育能力。本次研讨会的目标是增加对跨EPSCoR司法管辖区和其他司法管辖区的CI能力的了解，并帮助他们获得这些能力。参与者产生的数据将使人们能够深入了解地方和国家层面存在的差距、优先事项和挑战。首先，参与者将结合使用研究计算和数据能力模型(RCDCM)评估工具和培训来生成基线CI数据和关于如何增加CI访问、规划和合作伙伴关系的想法。讲习班将包括促成的讨论、关于区域合作的案例研究小组和小组工作会议。由此产生的开放获取报告、出版物和相关外联活动将提供汇总和分析的基线数据、解释的调查结果以及规划和伙伴关系倡议，以促进对参与EPSCoR机构的信息传播能力和意图的了解和了解。研讨会将与EPSCoR项目总监和项目管理员在缅因州波特兰(或在线，视情况而定)会议在同一地点举行。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已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。
