CC*IIE Engineer: A Model for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Research and Education Facilitators

本提案描述了俄克拉荷马大学（OU）网络基础设施（CI）工程师的促进活动。基于最近公开大学在CI方面的领导活动的成功，并利用国内其他地方在基于校园的计算研究支持方面的研究和教育促进方面的相关活动，该项目涉及：数据密集型研究促进，包括在公开大学的研究网络中利用软件定义网络；领导和促进在俄克拉荷马州采用校园级工程参与模式和方法；国家培训制度，为校园CI工程师和协调员提供“虚拟驻留”计划；本科生研究经验（REU），通过将REU站点和补充内容整合到STEM研究中，包括本项目的所有研究团队，促进开放大学的本科生研究。该项目旨在实现跨STEM学科的变革性研究，包括天气预报（实时预报、预警预报和预测数据挖掘）、高能物理、天气雷达、生态信息学和先进网络研究，支持200多名研究人员（本科生和研究生、博士后、教职员工）。

This proposal describes facilitation activities for a Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Engineer at the University of Oklahoma (OU). Building on the success of recent leadership activities at OU in CI and leveraging related activities elsewhere in the country in research and educational facilitation in campus-based computational research support, this project addresses: Data-Intensive Research Facilitation, including utilizing Software Defined Networking across OU's research network; leading and facilitating adoption of a campus level engineering engagement model and approach across Oklahoma; a national training regime, providing a "virtual residency" program for campus CI engineers and facilitators; and Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), fostering undergraduate research at OU by integrating REU sites and supplements into STEM research, including by all research teams on this project.This project has been designed to enable transformative research across STEM disciplines, including weather prediction (real time forecasting, warn on-forecast and data mining of forecasts), high energy physics, weather radar, ecological informatics, and research on advanced networking, supporting over 200 researchers (undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, staff and faculty).
