CyberTraining: Implementation: Medium: Cyberinfrastructure Training to Advance Environmental Science

该项目将支持夏威夷-太平洋地区环境科学研究、教育和实践的网络基础设施（CI）培训。该地区的环境问题影响到土著和其他社区的健康、经济稳定和生活方式。该项目将为本科生和研究生创建研讨会和课程模块，以提高环境科学领域的CI技能。通过为下一代环境科学家和从业者提供先进的CI技能，这些未来的专业人士将有能力使用CI来改变学术研究机构，公共机构和社区利益相关者的科学。该项目将建立一个多层次的能力增强计划，用于CI培训和技能发展，为环境和气候科学界的CI用户，贡献者和专业人士提供服务。讲习班和课程单元中的培训材料将纳入本科生和研究生课程，以促进传播和信息技能的发展和认识。该项目将增加传播和信息专业人员的数量，促进现有传播和信息专业人员向环境和气候科学界的知识转移。此外，它将推进特定领域的CI技能发展，使学生在未来的职业生涯中成为CI贡献者。该项目将对太平洋岛屿地区的环境和气候科学界产生重要影响，因为该地区以及该地区内外的其他人都有独特的方面。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。

The project will support Cyberinfrastructure (CI) training for environmental science research, education, and practice in the Hawaii-Pacific region. Environmental issues in the region affect health, economic stability, and ways of life for Indigenous and other communities. This project will create workshops and curriculum modules for undergraduate and graduate students to increase CI skills across the environmental science domain. By providing the next generation of environmental scientists and practitioners with advanced CI skills, these future professionals will have the ability to use CI to transform science in the region across academic research institutions, public agencies, and community stakeholders. The project will build a multi-level capacity enhancement program for CI training and skills development that will serve CI users, contributors, and professionals in the environmental and climate science communities. The training materials in the workshops and curriculum modules will be incorporated in undergraduate and graduate courses in order to promote CI skills development and awareness. The project will increase the pool of CI professionals and facilitate knowledge transfer from existing CI professionals to the environmental and climate science communities. As well, it will advance domain-specific CI skills development to position students as CI contributors in their future professional careers. The project will deliver important impacts to the environmental and climate science communities in the Pacific Island region, as there are unique aspects to the region, as well as to others in and beyond the region.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.
