CC* Regional Networking: Setting Up Research Foundations for a Multiple Organization Regional and OneOklahoma Friction Free Network

这个项目--建立研究基金会多组织俄克拉荷马地区无摩擦网络(SURF-More-OFFN)--将中美洲基督教大学、西北俄克拉荷马州立大学、俄克拉荷马州立大学生物医学成像中心、罗斯州立学院和西俄克拉荷马州立大学与OneOklahoma无摩擦网络(OFFN)连接起来。SURF-MORE-OFFN为满足劳动力需求的网络安全、自然科学、生物医学工程、护理和STEM相关领域提供广泛的研究和教育活动。全州的教职员工和学生将通过增强的网络基础设施资源获得新的研究和教育机会。SURF-MORE-OFFN利用现有的全州合作伙伴关系，为学生提供接触研究人员和网络基础设施从业人员的机会，创造了大量的合作机会。这些机构共同培养了不同的学生群体，包括西班牙裔、军人、第一代和成人学习者以及转到四年制大学的传统学生。SURF-More-OFFN通过实施科学DMZ、数据传输节点和网络性能监控功能来支持研究和教育驱动程序，将OneOklahoma无摩擦网络扩展到资源不足的校园和生物医学研究中心。SURF-MORE-OFFN在每个校园聘请技术人员，以促进新技术的采用，并提供对网络基础设施、计算工具和科学设备的访问。该项目还让教职员工和学生参与了更大的OneOCII网络基础设施倡议(OneOCII)，该倡议加强了整个俄克拉何马州的研究计算。OFFN由俄克拉荷马州的研究和教育网络OneNet管理。该奖项由俄克拉荷马大学提供。这一奖项由高级网络基础设施办公室提供，由既定的激励竞争研究计划(EPSCoR)共同支持。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。

This project -- Setting Up Research Foundations Multiple Organization Regional OneOklahoma Friction Free Network (SURF-MORe-OFFN) -- connects Mid-America Christian University, Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma State University Biomedical Imaging Center, Rose State College and Western Oklahoma State College to the OneOklahoma Friction Free Network (OFFN). SURF-MORe-OFFN enables a wide-range of research and education activities in cybersecurity, natural science, biomedical engineering, nursing and STEM-related fields that meet workforce needs. Faculty and students across the state will have access to new research and education opportunities through the enhanced cyberinfrastructure resources. SURF-MORe-OFFN leverages existing statewide partnerships to provide students access to researchers and cyberinfrastructure practitioners, creating substantial collaboration opportunities. Collectively these institutions educate a diverse student population including Hispanic, military, first-generation, and adult learners as well as traditional students who transfer to four-year universities.SURF-MORe-OFFN extends the OneOklahoma Friction Free Network to under-resourced campuses and a biomedical research center by implementing Science DMZs, Data Transfer Nodes and network performance monitoring capabilities to support research and education drivers. SURF-MORe-OFFN engages technical personnel at each campus to facilitate adoption of new technology and provide access to network infrastructure, computing tools and scientific equipment. The project also engages faculty and students in the larger OneOklahoma CyberInfrastructure Initiative (OneOCII), which enhances research computing throughout Oklahoma. OFFN is managed by OneNet, Oklahoma’s research and education network. Scientific leadership is provided by the University of Oklahoma.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by 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.
