RUI: CC*IIE Campus Design: Planning Grant to Enhance Scientific Network Infrastructure at Carroll University

该规划补助金支持卡罗尔大学努力制定一项计划，以改善其校园网络基础设施，与NSF的校园网络基础设施，基础设施，创新和工程（CC*IIE）计划中描述的目标保持一致。为期12个月的规划期包括以下活动：根据校园STEM研究和教育需求评估现有IT基础设施，确定未满足的需求，并制定解决这些需求的计划;制定与卡罗尔战略规划一致的校园网络基础设施（CI）计划;研究和制定科学DMZ方法来重新设计校园边界。卡罗尔的网络改进规划是非常及时的，可以在实验室设施中实现最大的研究和教育活动。这项工作也影响了该机构对本科生研究的现有重视。

This planning grant supports Carroll University's efforts to develop a plan to improve its campus network infrastructure aligning with the goals described in NSF's Campus Cyberinfrastructure-Infrastructure, Innovation and Engineering (CC*IIE) Program. The 12-month planning period includes the following activities: evaluate existing IT infrastructure against STEM research and education needs on campus, identify unmet needs, and define a plan to address them; develop a campus cyberinfrastructure (CI) plan aligned with Carroll's strategic planning; and study and develop a science DMZ approach to re-architecting the campus border. Planning for network improvements at Carroll is especially timely to achieve maximum leverage in enabling research and education activities across lab facilities. The work also impacts the institution's existing emphasis on undergraduate research.
