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使用计算。在高等教育机构的研究企业内支持这些活动的网络基础设施(CI)专业人员太少，而且往往没有很好地融入作为创新源泉的地区和国家努力中。这个名为CI Pivot的项目将通过创建几个CI专业人员团队来解决这些劳动力问题，这些团队使用定制的、同类最好的教育材料进行培训，他们将作为地方、地区和国家研究伙伴关系的一部分进行贡献、合作和共同创建。这些伙伴关系将推动科学进步，并在地球科学、工程、社会行为和经济科学等领域取得重大进展。CI Pivot将进一步促进国家利益，即通过创新的项目活动发展一支具有全球竞争力的多样化劳动力队伍并扩大参与。该团队的目标包括：1)促进跨机构伙伴关系、可持续性，并促进CIPS作为有价值和有价值的研究伙伴；2)支持和推进国家研究项目；3)在地球科学、工程以及社会行为和经济科学领域建立可扩展的劳动力发展，以促进值得信赖的计算科学的发展；以及4)降低进入门槛，为我们自己的机构以外的机构建设机构研究(支持)能力。为实现这些目标，传播和信息中心将采用方案活动，优先考虑包容性和扩大代表性。这些活动包括倾听之旅(利益相关者访谈和需求收集)、共同设想务虚会(团队自己选择的目标和最佳实践设置)、未来创造研讨会(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计划将在各个领域培训CI专业人员，包括使用高级网络基础设施管理工作流的工具、并行和加速的代码开发、工作流性能分析和优化、高级网络安全、机器和深度学习技术以及云工作流协调。通过富有成效的合作和伙伴关系，CI Pivot将通过与地球科学、工程学或社会行为和经济科学相关的技术出版物来推动科学。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
