Wichita State University (WSU) is embarking on a Campus Cyberinfrastructure Master Plan to: interconnect campus research labs, create a common campus research storage system and establish a regional compute system for High-Performance Computing (HPC). This initiative aims to enhance university research and education missions while also contributing to the broader scientific community. The project involves developing strategic plans for HPC infrastructure enhancements, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, supporting innovative research and education, and ensuring long-term sustainability of WSU's computing resources. The first goal involves developing a roadmap for a fixable and scalable next generation HPC system that meets the current and future computational demands. It includes conducting a gap analysis to identify the features and capacity needed to meet WSU's diverse research and educational needs. The second goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations. This will be achieved by developing an interdisciplinary computing institute that promotes collaboration between faculty, researchers, and students from diverse departments, organizing regular workshops, seminars, and networking events, and establishing strategic partnerships with national laboratories, government agencies, and industry partners. The third goal is to support innovative research and education by integrating HPC resources into the curriculum across multiple disciplines, developing a comprehensive training program, and providing consulting services to researchers. The fourth and final goal is sustainability and long-term planning, which involves developing a long-term sustainability plan and strengthening ties with the local community.The main project deliverables include a Campus Cyberinfrastructure Master Plan and planning for future grant proposal submissions to the NSF, and other funding agencies, including the MRI and CC* programs in support of implementation of the Campus Cyberinfrastructure Master Plan.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.

威奇托州立大学（WSU）正在着手实施校园网络基础设施总体规划，以：互连校园研究实验室，创建通用校园研究存储系统，并为高性能计算（HPC）建立区域计算系统。 这一举措旨在加强大学的研究和教育任务，同时也为更广泛的科学界做出贡献。该项目涉及为HPC基础设施增强制定战略计划，促进跨学科合作，支持创新研究和教育，并确保WSU计算资源的长期可持续性。 第一个目标是为可修复和可扩展的下一代HPC系统开发路线图，以满足当前和未来的计算需求。它包括进行差距分析，以确定满足WSU的不同研究和教育需求所需的功能和能力。第二个目标是促进跨学科合作。这将通过发展一个跨学科的计算研究所来实现，该研究所促进来自不同部门的教师，研究人员和学生之间的合作，组织定期研讨会，研讨会和网络活动，并与国家实验室，政府机构和行业合作伙伴建立战略伙伴关系。 第三个目标是通过将HPC资源整合到多个学科的课程中，开发全面的培训计划，并为研究人员提供咨询服务，以支持创新的研究和教育。第四个也是最后一个目标是可持续性和长期规划，包括制定长期可持续性计划和加强与当地社区的联系。主要项目交付成果包括校园网络基础设施总体规划和规划，以便将来向NSF和其他资助机构提交赠款提案，包括MRI和CC* 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过评估被认为值得支持使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
