CC* Regional: SD-REDI: The South Dakota Research and Education Data Interchange

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。南达科他州研究教育数据交换（SD-REDI）项目创建了一个全州范围的无摩擦网络，用于高速访问南达科他州所有公立高等教育机构的先进计算和数据存储资源。该项目旨在将广泛的组成学校连接到南达科他州的安全，高性能的科学DMZ区域网络。参与机构包括南达科他州大学、南达科他州矿业与技术学院、黑山州立大学、北方州立大学（NSU）、南达科他州州立大学、达科他州州立大学。作为该项目的一部分，NSU也将升级到100 Gbps连接。该项目将支持研究创新和推进其科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）组合的教育。SD-REDI创造了一个机会结构，以加速采用和利用先进的网络基础设施（CI），并提高整个南达科他州的STEM研究和教育生产力。在跨机构的技术和研究领导者团队的领导下，SD-REDI实现了以下关键目标：（1）通过安全、高性能的区域DMZ将所有参与机构的关键资源和CI能力连接在一起，使用现存的SD REED（2）填补机构能力差距，扩大校园网络容量，确保在本地区内和向国家资源外获得统一的经验和先进的传播与信息;（3）培养一支精通CI和STEM先进数字资源的劳动力队伍;（4）支持简化STEM教育的端到端远程学习体验。该项目支持一个新兴的模式，其中南达科他州州立大学和南达科他州大学将作为正式的CI提供者，为整个南达科他州的公立高等教育系统的研究人员和其他选民。这种集中的CI模型对于扩大南达科他州机构的研究和STEM教育机会至关重要。该项目由高级网络基础设施办公室（OAC）和刺激竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。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进行评估，被认为值得支持的搜索.

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).The South Dakota Research & Education Data Interchange (SD-REDI) project creates a statewide friction-free network for high-speed access to advanced computing and data storage resources from all public higher education institutions in South Dakota. The project seeks to connect a broad set of constituent schools to a secure, high-performance science DMZ regional network across South Dakota. Participating institutions include University of South Dakota, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Black Hills State University, Northern State University (NSU), South Dakota State University, Dakota State University. NSU will be upgraded to 100Gbps connectivity as part of this project as well. The project will support research innovation and advancing education across their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) portfolios. SD-REDI creates a structure of opportunity to accelerate the adoption and utilization of advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) and elevate STEM research and education productivity throughout South Dakota.Led by a cross-institutional team of technology and research leaders, SD-REDI accomplishes the following key objectives: (1) Links together critical resources and CI capabilities at all participating institutions via a secure, high-performance Regional DMZ, using the extant SD REED (Research, Education, and Economic Development) network as a backplane, ensuring secure and performant data movement for research and distance learning applications; (2) Addresses institutional capability gaps and augmenting campus network capacity to ensure uniform experience and access to advanced CI within the region and outward to national resources; (3) Cultivates a workforce literate in CI and advanced digital resources for STEM; and (4) Supports streamlined end-to-end distance learning experiences for STEM education. The project supports an emerging model in which South Dakota State University and the University of South Dakota will serve as formal CI providers for researchers and other constituents throughout South Dakota’s public higher education system. This centralized CI model is critical in expanding research and STEM education opportunities at South Dakota institutions.This project is funded through the collaborative efforts of the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.
