Building Research Cyberinfrastructure in EPSCoR Jurisdictions: Assessment, Planning and Partnerships

夏威夷大学将与蒙大拿州立大学和内华达州里诺大学合作举办一次研讨会，收集必要的基线数据，以确定EPSCoR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，本次研讨会将解决EPSCoR管辖区内CI资源和服务的历史投资不足以及这些资源在全国范围内的分布和可用性不均衡的问题。本次研讨会的活动和成果旨在加强传播与信息的获取和能力，以促进整个EPSCoR管辖区的研究和教育，包括资源不足的机构。本次研讨会的目标是增加知识，并协助访问，跨EPSCoR管辖区和超越CI能力。与会者产生的数据将有助于深入了解地方和国家各级现有的差距、优先事项和挑战。首先，参与者将使用研究计算和数据能力模型（RCDCM）评估工具与培训相结合，以生成关于如何增加CI访问，规划和伙伴关系的基线CI数据和想法。讲习班将包括协助讨论、区域合作个案研究小组和小组工作会议。由此产生的开放获取报告、出版物和相关的外展活动将提供汇总和分析的基线数据、解释的结果以及规划和伙伴关系倡议，以促进对参与EPSCoR机构的CI能力和意图的了解和理解。该研讨会将与EPSCoR项目主任和项目管理员会议在缅因州的波特兰（或在线，根据情况）共同举办。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

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.
