Collaborative Research: NSF INCLUDES Alliance: Alliance Supporting Pacific Impact through Computational Excellence (ALL-SPICE)

NSF包括通过卓越计算支持太平洋影响力联盟（ALL-SPICE）提出了利用数据革命支持夏威夷太平洋地区可持续发展、经济发展和社会正义的努力。ALL-SPICE由檀香山的查米纳德大学领导，与德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校、德克萨斯州高级计算中心和夏威夷大学合作，将专注于发展区域数据科学能力，以支持夏威夷-太平洋地区实现联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）。ALL-SPICE将建立数据科学的教育和研究能力，以影响夏威夷和美国的社区。该计划包括：建立一个太平洋附属岛屿（USAPI），调整数据科学课程以在线部署，以覆盖农村，邻近岛屿和USAPI参与者，提高教师在数据科学方面的研究能力，开发新的本科生数据科学研究经验，并制作新的以太平洋为重点的数据科学课程，以在整个联盟中广泛部署。此外，ALL-SPICE还将策划一个“数据寻路”（W2 D）数据科学培训机会组合，涵盖K-20，并针对边缘化人群。与决策支持网络基础设施的强有力联系将使夏威夷-太平洋社区提供植根于太平洋经验和认识论的太平洋观点，为STEM，数据科学和决策提供全球机遇。ALL-SPICE的定位是通过骨干组织（檀香山的查米纳德大学、德克萨斯州高级计算中心和夏威夷大学的夏威夷数据科学研究所）以及横跨夏威夷和美国的广泛协调网络对夏威夷-太平洋数据科学产生集体影响。协调网络包括与东西方中心、NSF机会群岛LSAMP联盟（密克罗尼西亚、美属萨摩亚、关岛、马歇尔群岛和北方马里亚纳群岛的两年制和四年制学院）和社会部门合作伙伴的主要伙伴关系，共同议程是加强社区和该地区实现可持续发展目标的进展。STEM教育研究（SER）的知识基础包容性夏威夷-太平洋数据科学教育将通过对社会公正为导向的方法进行研究，以适应数据科学教学法的文化，以及培养夏威夷-太平洋数据科学学生自我效能感和归属感的方法来加强。联盟产品将为夏威夷（包括农村/邻近岛屿地区）和USAPI的数据科学教育提供新的协作基础设施。数据产品将为政策提供信息，并为太平洋地区领导的环境、经济和社会正义战略提供决策支持。更广泛的影响包括增加数据科学中代表性不足的群体的参与。ALL-SPICE活动预计将对夏威夷和USAPI的数据科学劳动力发展和就业途径产生积极影响。因此，该地区将通过与可持续发展目标相关的数据驱动的决策支持能力得到加强，特别是在环境复原力、健康、减贫和创新方面。（NSF INCLUDES）是一项全面的国家倡议，旨在通过关注多样性，包容性和扩大STEM的参与来加强美国在发现和创新方面的领导地位。该联盟还由计算机和信息科学与工程局（CISE），路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划资助，该计划帮助大学和学院实现STEM劳动力的多样化，美国国家科学基金会促进竞争研究计划（EPSCoR）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标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

ALL SPICE AbstractThe NSF INCLUDES Alliance Supporting Pacific Impact through Computational Excellence (ALL-SPICE) proposes efforts to harness the data revolution to support sustainability, economic development, and social justice in the Hawai'i-Pacific region. ALL-SPICE, led by Chaminade University of Honolulu with partners at the University of Texas Austin, Texas Advanced Computing Center, and the University of Hawai'i, will focus on the development of regional data science capacity in support of Hawai'i-Pacific progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). ALL-SPICE will build educational and research capacity in data science for community impact in Hawai'i and the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI), adapting data science curriculum for online deployment to reach rural, neighbor island and USAPI participants, enhancing faculty research capacity in data science, developing new undergraduate data science research experiences, and producing new Pacific-focused data science courses for broad deployment across the Alliance. Additionally, ALL-SPICE will curate a ‘Wayfinding to Data’ (W2D) portfolio of data science training opportunities spanning K-20 and targeting marginalized populations.The development of a robust data science infrastructure, regional expertise in analytics, and strong linkages to decision support cyberinfrastructure will empower Hawai'i-Pacific communities to provide Pacific perspectives rooted in Pacific experiences and epistemology in global opportunities for STEM, data science and policymaking. ALL-SPICE is positioned for collective impact on Hawai'i-Pacific data science through the backbone organization (Chaminade University of Honolulu, Texas Advanced Computing Center, and the Hawai'i Data Science Institute at the University of Hawai'i) and a wide coordination network that spans Hawai'i and the (USAPI). The Coordination Network comprises major partnerships with the East West Center, the NSF Islands of Opportunity LSAMP Alliance (two- and four-year colleges across Micronesia, American Samoa, Guam, the Marshall Islands, and the Northern Marianas) and social sector partners with a shared agenda of strengthening communities and progress towards the SDG in the region. The STEM Educational Research (SER) knowledge base for inclusive Hawai'i-Pacific data science education will be enhanced by research conducted on social justice-oriented approaches to enculturation of data science pedagogy, and approaches that foster self-efficacy and sense-of-belonging for Hawai'i- Pacific data science students. Alliance products will contribute to a new collaborative infrastructure for data science education in Hawai'i (including rural/ neighbor island locales) and the USAPI. Data products will inform policy and provide decision support for Pacific-led environmental, economic, and social justice strategy. Broader impacts include increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in data science. ALL-SPICE activities are expected to positively impact workforce development and employment pathways in data science for Hawai’i and the USAPI. As a result, the region will be strengthened by data-driven decision support capacity related to the SDGs, particularly in environmental resilience, health, poverty reduction and innovation.This Alliance is funded by NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES), a comprehensive national initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in discoveries and innovations by focusing on diversity, inclusion and broadening participation in STEM at scale. The Alliance is also funded by the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program, which assists universities and colleges in diversifying the STEM workforce, and the NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program.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.
