CC* CIRA: Building Research Innovations in Community Colleges in TX In Collaboration with Universities (BRICCs-TX)

在德克萨斯州社区学院建立研究创新（bric -TX）旨在帮助德克萨斯州社区学院的学生为研究和数据分析做好准备，这些研究和数据分析是在工作场所和获得更高学位中取得成功所必需的。如果各级教育机构为了共同利益合作共享工具和资源，效率和效果会更高。与德克萨斯州高等教育协调委员会（THECB）合作，金砖国家德克萨斯合作中心为所有高等教育机构提供了一个共享思想、工具和资源的在线平台，可以访问相同的信息。金砖国家合作机制的目标是：1)鼓励社区学院在技术和学术领域的各级研究，2)鼓励社区学院和大学之间在研究机会方面的合作，3)在全州范围内共享计算能力和网络基础设施解决方案以及在云计算和硬件方面的合作机会，4)在全州范围内举办以研究、计算能力和网络基础设施为重点的虚拟研讨会，5)与欧洲央行合作，在其OERTX网站上建立一个中心，作为研究合作和支持研究的网络基础设施的信息库。该项目正在与该州各个地区的社区学院合作，包括南平原学院、休斯顿社区学院和孤星学院，以及德克萨斯农工大学和德克萨斯南方大学。圣哈辛托学院领导的团队体现了协作和沟通，使来自不同人口统计的学生能够更好地利用最新技术解决问题。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。

Building Research Innovations in Community Colleges in TX (BRICCs-TX) is designed to help Texas community colleges prepare their students for the research and data analytics that is required to be successful both in the workplace as well as in the attainment of higher degrees. It is more efficient and effective if educational institutions at all levels collaborate to share tools and resources for the common good. With the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), BRICCS-TX is providing an online platform for sharing ideas, tools and resources, all institutions of higher education have access to the same information. The goals of BRICCs-TX are to: 1) encourage research at all levels and in both technical and academic areas at community colleges, 2) encourage collaboration between community colleges and universities in research opportunities, 3) share computing power and cyberinfrastructure solutions and opportunities for collaboration in the cloud and in hardware across the state, 4) host workshops around the state and virtually with research, computing power and cyberinfrastructure as the focus, and 5) work with the THECB to establish a hub on their OERTX website that will serve as a repository of information on research collaboration and cyberinfrastructure supporting research. The project is working with community colleges in various regions in the state, including South Plains College, Houston Community College and Lone Star, as well as universities Texas A&M and Texas Southern University. San Jacinto College leads a team that exemplifies collaboration and communication to empower students from diverse demographics as better prepared individuals for problem solving using the latest technology available.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.
