The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign team provides coordination services as part of the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) program. Science and engineering research and education depend upon an increasingly complex and distributed ecosystem of cyberinfrastructure (CI). The ACCESS program is an evolution of the National Science Foundation’s plans for coordination and operation of this CI and represents a fundamentally new approach to supporting this ecosystem.The Open CI Ecosystem to Advance Scientific Discovery (OpenCI) provides the structures and services to support shared governance, community input, and communication and outreach for the five ACCESS service tracks (Allocations; End User Support; Operations and Integration; Monitoring and Measurement; and Technology Translation). OpenCI provides the tools and services for shared governance and horizontal leadership of the ACCESS Service Track awardees to create an inclusive CI ecosystem where Service Track PIs work with common purpose through well-defined decision-making processes, transparency in communication, and a focus on enabling science.OpenCI provides four essential functions: 1) establishes and facilitates governance through the creation and support of the ACCESS Executive Council, the formal governing body of the ACCESS program; 2) cultivates expert guidance through the creation and support of the ACCESS External Advisory Board; 3) engages the community through coordination and augmentation of communications, outreach, and community-building activities of the Service Tracks; and 4) serves as a resource to NSF in its oversight of the ACCESS program across the areas of reporting, evaluation, and reviews.OpenCI’s communication, outreach, and community-building efforts will broaden the participation of individuals and communities that have been underserved by the national CI ecosystem. Innovations in technology, research, and scholarship will be shared with the broader community that seeks to understand the role of CI in advancing society. The private sector will find new opportunities for collaboration, and through these opportunities, help improve the competitiveness of US companies in areas critical for the economy and the workforce.OpenCI is led by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in partnership with the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego, and the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC) at the Georgia Institute of Technology.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.

伊利诺伊大学Urbana-Champaign团队提供协调服务，这是高级网络基础设施协调生态系统的一部分：服务与支持（访问）计划。科学和工程研究和教育取决于网络基础设施（CI）的日益复杂和分布的生态系统。访问计划是国家科学基金会对该CI进行协调和运作计划的演变，代表了一种支持该生态系统的新方法。开放的CI生态系统促进了科学发现（OPENCI）提供了支持共享治理，社区，社区，社区投入，以及五个访问的访问和衡量级别的量子和集成的结构和沟通和衡量级别;最终的用户和集成;最终;运行;操作;操作;操作;操作;操作;操作;操作;操作;操作； Openci为访问服务轨道获奖者的共同治理和横向领导提供了工具和服务，以创建一个包容性的CI生态系统，在该系统中，服务跟踪PI通过定义明确的决策过程，沟通的透明度以及对启用科学的关注。 2）通过创建和支持外部咨询委员会的创建和支持来培养专家指导； 3）通过协调和增强服务轨道的沟通，推广和社区建设活动来吸引社区； 4）在报告，评估和评论领域对NSF的监督方面是对NSF的资源。Openci的沟通，外展和社区建设工作将扩大他们已经由国家CI生态系统所服务的个人和社区的参与。技术，研究和科学方面的创新将与更广泛的社区共享，该社区试图了解CI在促进社会中的作用。私营部门将找到新的合作机会，并通过这些机会，有助于提高美国公司在对经济和劳动力至关重要的领域的竞争力。 （CEISMC）在佐治亚州理工学院。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估，被认为是宝贵的支持。
