IRNC: Core Improvement: TransPAC5: Multilateral Partnerships to Accelerate International Research and Experimentation

TransPAC 5：多边伙伴关系加速国际研究和实验建立在亚太地区二十多年的合作基础上，为支持美国-亚洲科学合作提供网络能力和服务。TransPAC 5包括多边协定和与33个国家有联系的区域小组和自然资源网扩大的网络伙伴关系。将继续与亚太先进网络（APAN）、跨欧亚信息网络（TEIN）和亚太环（APR）合作建立关系。TransPAC 5将与韩国研究环境开放网络（KREONET），韩国高级研究网络（KOREN），夏威夷大学，澳大利亚学术和研究网络（AARNet）和欧洲北欧REN合作，增加APR的可用容量和成员资格。NORDNet.TransPAC5将通过对两个网络的支持，在广泛的国际研究合作中促进知识和理解。能力和服务。该项目将使APR目前的跨洋高速产品增加一倍，并利用未使用的容量正式为高级网络实验社区提供实用的网络资源，使变革性方法能够在生产环境中进行测试，而不仅仅是测试床。该项目支持大规模的国际研究与工程合作，包括高能物理、天文学和生物信息学。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。

TransPAC5: Multilateral Partnerships to Accelerate International Research and Experimentation builds on more than twenty years of collaboration in the Asia-Pacific region to provide network capacity and services in support of US-Asia science collaborations. TransPAC5 includes multilateral agreements and expanded networking partnerships with regional teams and NRENs associated with 33 countries. Relationships will continue with the Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN), the Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN), and the Asia-Pacific Ring (APR) collaboration. TransPAC5 will augment both the available APR capacity and the APR membership with partners the Korea Research Environment Open Network (KREONET), the KOrea advanced REsearch Network (KOREN), the University of Hawaii, Australia's Academic and Research Network (AARNet), and European Nordic REN, NORDUnet.TransPAC5 will advance knowledge and understanding across a broad set of international research collaborations through its support of both network capacity and services. The project doubles the current transoceanic high-speed offerings of the APR and leverages the unused capacity to formally offer pragmatic networking resources to the advanced network experiment community, enabling transformative approaches to be tested in production settings, not just test beds. The project supports large scale international R&E collaborations including high energy physics, astronomy, and bioinformatics.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.
