With support from this CC* Planning award, Central Michigan University (CMU) is investigating its cyberinfrastructure (CI) capabilities to identify areas of strength, weakness, and opportunity. The rapid evolution of technology and the increasing complexity of research questions necessitate proactively anticipating future needs and planning. A modern CI is essential for CMU to support innovative faculty research and enhance student learning experiences that are otherwise unattainable with the existing infrastructure. With CMU’s active 5-year strategic plan as a guide, this project aligns with institutional priorities to inspire students, foster scholarly success, and engage communities. This project enables CMU to provide increased contributions to broader scientific advancements and expand interdisciplinary collaborations. Sharing experiences and supporting institutions embarking on similar initiatives are critical aspects of the project’s aspirations.This project is structured around a series of CI planning activities aligned with four strategic aims: (1) Evaluate existing CI capabilities through a comprehensive needs assessment. (2) Forge trust-based partnerships with CI professionals and regional leaders such as Michigan State University and Merit Network, Inc. (3) Develop a forward-thinking Campus CI Plan aligned with institutional goals and key science drivers. (4) Operationalize the newly developed plan by seeking future National Science Foundation (NSF) Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) support. These four aims are the blueprint for enhancing CMU’s ability to drive scientific knowledge forward through a comprehensive CI.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.

在此CC* 规划奖的支持下，中密歇根大学（CMU）正在调查其网络基础设施（CI）能力，以确定优势，劣势和机会领域。技术的快速发展和研究问题的日益复杂，需要积极主动地预测未来的需求和规划。现代CI对于CMU支持创新的教师研究和增强学生学习体验至关重要，否则现有基础设施无法实现这些体验。以CMU积极的5年战略计划为指导，该项目与机构优先事项保持一致，以激励学生，促进学术成功和参与社区。该项目使CMU能够为更广泛的科学进步提供更多的贡献，并扩大跨学科合作。分享经验和支持机构开展类似的举措是该项目的愿望的关键方面。该项目围绕着一系列与四个战略目标相一致的传播与信息规划活动而构建：（1）通过全面的需求评估评估现有的传播与信息能力。(2)与竞争情报专业人员和地区领导者（如密歇根州立大学和Merit Network，Inc.）建立基于信任的合作伙伴关系。(3)制定一个前瞻性的校园CI计划，与机构目标和关键科学驱动因素保持一致。(4)通过寻求未来的国家科学基金会（NSF）校园网络基础设施（CC*）的支持来实施新开发的计划。这四个目标是提高CMU通过全面CI推动科学知识发展的能力的蓝图。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。
