CC* CIRA: Nevada Vision for a co-Developed Impactful Cyberinfrastructure Ecosystem (NV-DICE)

在内华达州，用于学术研究的技术严重缺乏资源和认知度。虽然国家社区已经制定了有效的研究和教育信息技术(或“网络基础设施”)的最佳做法，但内华达州仍未参与这一演变。随着两所初创的卡内基R1大学、一家专门的研究机构以及几所州立和社区学院在网络专业知识方面面临进一步落后的风险，内华达州高等教育系统创建了一个联合发现和规划项目，名为NV-DICE：共同开发有影响力的网络基础设施生态系统的内华达愿景。NV-DICE将来自内华达州主要研究机构的首席信息官及其团队聚集在一起，以发现研究IT事务的现状，并制定出一条最有利于该州的集体前进道路。认识到需要跨越校园边界开展工作、汇集主题专业知识并利用地理优势，该项目的重点是发展一个真正的实践社区。在两年的规划期内，每个园区都在执行协调一致的评估、提炼优先事项并创建校园CI计划。该团队正在与以教学为重点的机构合作，以发现整个内华达州的IT教育的集体状态，并共同开发网络、身份和安全的核心区域架构，以实现面向所有人的合作和弹性社区网络基础设施。由此产生的内华达州科学和技术计划的更新是未来竞争性基础设施和团队科学提案的起点。NV-DICE的团队“办公时间”、年度峰会和合作工程正在为内华达州的学术技术文化建立一个新纪元。这一奖项由高级网络基础设施办公室颁发，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。

Technology for academic research is severely under-resourced and under-recognized in the state of Nevada. While the national community has developed best practices for effective research and education information technology (or, “cyberinfrastructure”), Nevada has remained outside of this evolution. With two fledgling Carnegie R1 universities, a dedicated research institute, and several state and community colleges at risk of falling further behind in cyber expertise, the Nevada System of Higher Education has created a joint discovery and planning project, “NV-DICE: Nevada Vision for a co-Developed Impactful Cyberinfrastructure Ecosystem”. NV-DICE brings together the Chief Information Officers and their teams from the major research institutions in Nevada to discover the current state of research IT affairs and plot a collective path forward that will best serve the state. In recognition of the need to work across campus borders, pool subject matter expertise, and capitalize on geographic strengths, the project focuses on developing a true community of practice. Over the two-year planning period, each campus is performing coordinated assessments, distilling priorities, and creating campus CI Plans. The team is engaging teaching-focused institutions to discover the collective state of IT education across Nevada, and co-develop a core regional architecture for networks, identity, and security that enable cooperative and resilient community cyberinfrastructures for all. The resulting update to the Nevada Science and Technology Plan serves as a launching point for future competitive infrastructure and Team Science proposals. NV-DICE’s team “office hours”, annual summits, and cooperative engineering is establishing a new era for Nevada’s academic technology culture.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.
