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

All-SPICE摘要NSF包括通过卓越计算支持太平洋影响的联盟(All-SPICE)建议努力利用数据革命来支持夏威夷-太平洋地区的可持续性、经济发展和社会正义。All-SPICE由檀香山Chaminade大学牵头，与德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校、德克萨斯先进计算中心和夏威夷大学的合作伙伴合作，将重点发展区域数据科学能力，以支持夏威夷-太平洋地区在实现联合国可持续发展目标(SDG)方面取得进展。All-SPICE将在夏威夷和美国附属的太平洋岛屿(USAPI)建立数据科学方面的教育和研究能力，调整数据科学课程以供在线部署，以接触到农村、邻近岛屿和USAPI的参与者，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，供联盟广泛部署。此外，All-SPICE将策划一系列跨越K-20和面向边缘人群的数据科学培训机会(W2D)。强大的数据科学基础设施的发展、区域分析专业知识以及与决策支持网络基础设施的强大联系将使夏威夷-太平洋社区能够提供植根于太平洋经验和认识论的太平洋视角，为STEM、数据科学和政策制定提供全球机遇。All-SPICE通过主干组织(火奴鲁鲁夏米纳德大学、德克萨斯高级计算中心和夏威夷大学夏威夷数据科学研究所)和横跨夏威夷和美国国际开发署(USAPI)的广泛协调网络，定位于对夏威夷-太平洋数据科学产生集体影响。协调网络包括与东西中心、NSF机遇群岛LSAMP联盟(密克罗尼西亚、美属萨摩亚、关岛、马绍尔群岛和北马里亚纳群岛的两年制和四年制大学)和社会部门伙伴的主要伙伴关系，以及加强该区域社区和在实现可持续发展目标方面取得进展的共同议程。夏威夷-太平洋数据科学包容性教育的STEM教育研究(SER)知识库将通过研究面向社会公正的方法来融入数据科学教育学，以及培养夏威夷-太平洋数据科学学生的自我效能和归属感的方法而得到加强。联盟的产品将为夏威夷(包括农村/邻近岛屿地区)和USAPI的数据科学教育新的协作基础设施做出贡献。数据产品将为太平洋地区主导的环境、经济和社会正义战略提供政策信息和决策支持。更广泛的影响包括增加代表不足的群体对数据科学的参与。All-SPICE活动预计将对夏威夷和USAPI在数据科学方面的劳动力发展和就业途径产生积极影响。因此，与可持续发展目标相关的数据驱动的决策支持能力将加强该地区，特别是在环境弹性、健康、减贫和创新方面。该联盟由NSF在全国范围内纳入未被充分代表的工程和科学发现者社区(NSF Includes)资助，这是一项全面的国家倡议，旨在通过关注多样性、包容性和扩大对STEM的规模参与来增强美国在发现和创新方面的领导地位。该联盟还得到了计算机和信息科学与工程局(CEISE)、路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟(LSAMP)计划(帮助大学和学院使STEM劳动力多样化)以及NSF建立的激励竞争研究(EPSCoR)计划的资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
