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大学里诺分校合作，举办一个研讨会，收集必要的基线数据，以表征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辖区CI资源和服务投资不足的历史问题，以及这些资源在全国范围内的不均匀分布和可用性。本次研讨会的活动和成果旨在提高整个EPSCoR辖区（包括资源不足的机构）的CI获取和研究和教育能力。本次研讨会的目标是增加对EPSCoR辖区内外CI能力的了解，并帮助获取CI能力。参与者产生的数据将有助于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，以生成基线CI数据，并就如何增加CI访问、规划和伙伴关系提出想法。讲习班将包括促进讨论、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、出版物和相关的推广活动将提供汇总和分析的基线数据、解释的发现、规划和伙伴关系倡议，以提高对参与EPSCoR机构CI能力和意图的认识和理解。该研讨会将与EPSCoR项目主管和项目管理员在缅因州波特兰举行的会议（或根据情况在线举行）同时举行。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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，被认为值得支持。

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.
