Conference: Travel for Campus Champions to PEARC23/SC23 Conference

校园冠军培养了一个充满活力和相互联系的高级研究计算专业人士社区，促进了研究，学术，教学和行业应用前沿的领先实践。在过去的14年里，校园冠军计划已经发展到超过784冠军在350多个研究机构。随着NSF先进的网络基础设施协调服务和支持生态系统（ACCESS-CI.org）的不断扩展，Campus Champions发挥着重要的协作作用，通过接触来自社区的潜在用户，提高生态系统的民主化程度，这些用户对生态系统功能和用户支持服务是新的。两小时的社区活动将在Supercomputing 23和PEARC 23进行，具有双重目的。首先，校园冠军将反思如何在Access时代贡献和维持活动。第二，现有的，新的和潜在的冠军将针对更广泛的受众定制该计划。这将利用新的和现有的校园冠军机会，通过讨论和社交互动，亲自与社区联系。这些活动将使校园冠军和访问程序资源和推广计划之间的双向学习。不是冠军的人将被介绍给社区，并学习如何最好地支持其机构的研究人员（如果他们支持基础设施）或最好地利用基础设施（如果他们支持研究人员）。五个候选人将从资源不足的非R1机构中选出，根据他们作为非传统用户的新角色（在过去5年内）或从代表性不足的校园冠军类别中选出。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。

The Campus Champions foster a dynamic and connected community of advanced research computing professionals that promote leading practices at the frontiers of research, scholarship, teaching, and industry application. Over the past 14 years, the Campus Champions program has grown to over 784 Champions at over 350 research institutions. As NSF's advanced cyberinfrastructure coordination ecosystem of services and support (ACCESS-CI.org) continues to expand, Campus Champions serve vital collaborative roles improving democratization of the ecosystem by reaching prospective users from communities who have are new to ecosystem capabilities and user support services.Two-hour community events will be conducted at Supercomputing23 and PEARC23 with dual purposes. First, Campus Champions will reflect on how to contribute and sustain activities in the ACCESS era. Second, existing, new and prospective Champions will tailor the program toward broader audiences. This will avail new and existing Campus Champions opportunities to connect in person and with the community, through discussion and social interaction. These events will enable bi-directional learning between the Campus Champions and the ACCESS program resources and outreach plans. People who are not Champions will be introduced to the community and learn practices to best support researchers at their institutions (if they support infrastructure) or to best utilize infrastructure (if they support researchers). Five candidates to receive travel funds to support participation in the events will be selected from under-resourced, non-R1 institutions based on their new (within the last 5 years) roles as non-traditional users or from an underrepresented category of Campus Champions.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.
