Collaborative Research: SCIPE: CyberInfrastructure Professionals InnoVating and brOadening the adoption of advanced Technologies (CI PIVOT)

科学和工程研究和教育具有动态和不断增长的需求，包括从基于物理的模拟到人工智能的新技术要求，以及通过跨越本地计算资源到公共云的工作流程使用计算。在高等教育机构的研究企业中，对支持这些活动至关重要的网络基础设施（CI）专业人员数量太少，而且往往没有很好地融入地区和国家的努力中，而这些努力将成为创新的源泉。这个名为CI PIVOT的项目将通过创建几个CI专业团队来解决这些劳动力问题，这些团队将接受量身定制的、最好的教育材料的培训，作为地方、区域和国家研究伙伴关系的一部分，他们将贡献、合作和共同创造。这些伙伴关系将促进科学进步，并在地球科学、工程学、社会行为科学和经济科学等领域取得重大进展。CI PIVOT将通过创新项目活动进一步促进国家利益，发展具有全球竞争力的多样化劳动力，并扩大参与。该团队的目标包括：1)实现跨机构伙伴关系、可持续性和促进cip作为有价值和有价值的研究伙伴；2)支持和推进国家科研项目；3)在地球科学、工程科学、社会行为科学和经济科学领域建立可扩展的劳动力发展，促进可信计算科学的发展；4)降低进入门槛，为我们以外的机构建立机构研究（支持）能力。为了实现这些目标，CI PIVOT将采用优先考虑包容性和扩大代表性的计划性活动。这些活动包括倾听之旅（利益相关者访谈和需求收集）、共同设想静修（团队自我选择的目标和最佳实践设置）、创造未来的研讨会（为利益相关者和未来的CI专业人员战略性地发展计划的方法）和计算木工（促进计算技能发展的研讨会）。CI PIVOT项目将培训各个领域的CI专业人员，包括使用先进网络基础设施、并行和加速代码开发、工作流性能分析和优化、先进网络安全、机器和深度学习技术以及云工作流编排来管理工作流的工具。通过富有成效的合作和伙伴关系，CI PIVOT将通过与地球科学、工程或社会行为和经济科学相关的技术出版物推进科学。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

Science and engineering research and education have dynamic and growing needs encompassing new technology requirements from physics-based simulation to artificial intelligence and using computing through workflows spanning local computing resources to the public cloud. The number of cyberinfrastructure (CI) professionals critical to support these activities within the research enterprise at higher education institutions is too few and, frequently, not well-integrated into regional and national efforts that would serve as sources of innovation. This project, CI PIVOT, will address these workforce issues by creating several teams of CI professionals trained with tailored, best-of-breed educational materials who will contribute, collaborate, and co-create as part of local, regional, and national research partnerships. These partnerships will promote the progress of science and result in significant advances in the fields of geoscience, engineering, and social behavioral and economic sciences. CI PIVOT will further contribute to the national interest of developing a globally-competitive, diverse workforce and broadening participation through innovative project activities.The team's goals include: 1) enabling cross-institutional partnerships, sustainability, and promotion of CIPs as valuable and valued research partners; 2) supporting and advancing national research projects; 3) building a scalable workforce development in geoscience, engineering, and social behavioral and economic sciences for the advancement of trustworthy computational science; and 4) lowering the barrier to entry for building institutional research (support) capacity for institutions beyond our own. To actualize these goals, CI PIVOT will employ programmatic activities prioritizing inclusiveness and broadening representation. These activities consist of listening tours (stakeholder interviews and requirements gathering), co-envisioning retreats (team self-selected goal and best practice setting), future-creating workshops (method to strategically evolve the program for stakeholders and future CI professionals), and computational carpentries (workshops promoting computational skills development). The CI PIVOT program will train CI professionals in various areas, including tools to manage workflows using advanced cyberinfrastructure, parallel, and accelerated code development, workflow performance analysis and optimization, advanced cybersecurity, machine and deep learning techniques, and cloud workflow orchestration. Through productive collaborations and partnerships, CI PIVOT will advance science with technical publications relevant to geoscience, engineering, or social behavioral and economic sciences.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.
