Mississippi State University Leading Advanced University Computing for Higher Education, or MSU LAUNCH, is engaging with researchers to make plans to provide comprehensive research computing and data storage support to a broader group of MSU researchers. The team is gathering information about the current cyberinfrastructure on campus and writing a new cyberinfrastructure plan, which will serve as basis for future endeavors. The results of the Research Computing and Data Capabilities Model are the starting point for these efforts. The initial assessment showed areas in which MSU excels and identified areas in which support to researchers could be improved. This project will enable interaction of campus IT leadership and researchers across several domain areas to assess the appropriate level of cyberinfrastructure and support services needed at MSU. The outcomes from this planning project will ensure the continued development of a competitive research environment to address the most challenging research questions. This project will also democratize science by including research domain areas that do not have regular and recurring access to computational resources. As Mississippi’s largest research institution, Mississippi State University serves a diverse undergraduate and graduate student population. Of the 21,961 students enrolled on the main campus in the Fall of 2022, 27% were classified as minority students (including Black or African American, American Indian, Asian, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and multiracial students). MSU LAUNCH will improve access to a broad community of users to computational resources and services, an objective that aligns with the long-term strategic goals of Mississippi State University, in an EPSCoR jurisdiction.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.

密西西比州立大学领先的高等教育先进大学计算（MSU LAUNCH）正在与研究人员合作，制定计划，为更广泛的MSU研究人员提供全面的研究计算和数据存储支持。该团队正在收集有关校园当前网络基础设施的信息，并编写新的网络基础设施计划，这将作为未来工作的基础。研究计算和数据能力模型的结果是这些努力的起点。 初步评估显示了密歇根州立大学的优势领域，并确定了可以改进对研究人员的支持的领域。该项目将使校园IT领导和研究人员在几个领域的互动，以评估在MSU所需的网络基础设施和支持服务的适当水平。这一规划项目的成果将确保持续发展一个有竞争力的研究环境，以解决最具挑战性的研究问题。该项目还将通过包括没有定期和经常访问计算资源的研究领域来使科学民主化。作为密西西比最大的研究机构，密西西比州立大学为多样化的本科生和研究生群体提供服务。在2022年秋季在主校区入学的21，961名学生中，27%被归类为少数民族学生（包括黑人或非裔美国人，美洲印第安人，亚洲人，西班牙裔，夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民以及多种族学生）。MSU LAUNCH将改善广大用户社区对计算资源和服务的访问，这一目标符合密西西比州立大学的长期战略目标，高级网络基础设施办公室颁发的这一奖项得到了刺激竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）的联合支持。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。
