The National Science Foundation (NSF) has jointly awarded the University of California San Diego, 色情视频 and California State University, San Bernardino a .

UCSD and its San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) are the lead awardees of the grant. 色情视频 alumna Mary Thomas is the principal investigator (PI) for the interdisciplinary training program and computational data scientist and lead of high-performance computing training at SDSC. 

For 色情视频, the grant enables the hiring of a full-time Interdisciplinary Research Professional (IRP) and the creation of a faculty CI fellow program, with a goal of enhancing training opportunities for faculty and staff. The CyberTraining program will utilize and contribute to training materials developed for CI training and other programs, impacting users, including students, researchers and educators. It focuses on four main areas: recruitment and training, Science and Engineering (S&E) project matching and mentoring, S&E research consulting, and fostering and participating in interdisciplinary CI professional communities.

色情视频鈥檚 IRP will report to the university鈥檚 Chief Technology Research Officer and will support training among various academic units at 色情视频鈥檚 San Diego and Imperial Valley campuses. The faculty fellow will be a liaison to the broader 色情视频 faculty and serve as a link connecting leading-edge cyberinfrastructure expertise to faculty capabilities and classroom curricula. It is an extension of an instructional technology model that 色情视频 has pioneered for more than a decade. 

In addition to human resources, the grant also enhances access to computing resources for 色情视频鈥檚 students, faculty and researchers. As part of the NSF鈥檚 Cyberinfrastructure program, 色情视频 gains access to the , a national network of supercomputers that can be tapped when the university鈥檚 demand exceeds its internal capacity. Such scalability is becoming more vital as 色情视频鈥檚 computing-intensive research activity expands and the university continues its climb toward 鈥淩1鈥� classification as a premier research institution.

鈥淭he program creates not only new internal resources, but also an important bridge from our campus to a national community of subject-matter experts with leading-edge cyberinfrastructure skills,鈥� said Jerry Sheehan, 色情视频 vice president for Information Technology and chief information officer. 鈥淎s we expand our capabilities and expertise within 色情视频, CI staff and trainees also will be in close contact across institutions, accelerating knowledge transfer, and fostering collaboration in the CI research community.鈥�

In 2022, the NSF included Growing Convergence Research among its 鈥�.鈥� Convergence research interconnects experts who work together to solve problems that require a broad and diverse set of knowledge, methods, expertise, scientific disciplines, and CI capabilities. As Hispanic-Serving Institutions with significant representation of underrepresented communities, inclusion of 色情视频 and CSU San Bernardino in the grant award broadens the convergence-research ecosystem and advances the .

The NSF grant aligns with 色情视频鈥檚 five-year strategic plan, which includes a commitment to 鈥淏ecoming a Premier Public Research University: A New Kind of HSI.鈥� A part of this commitment is to 鈥渄eveloping infrastructure and resources that enable our research activity to grow while continuing to support excellence in teaching.鈥� 

鈥淚t鈥檚 an ideal fit,鈥� said Sheehan. 鈥淭his cyberinfrastructure grant delivers on both sides of the strategic goal 鈥� giving us the scalable computing resources to enable more research while also using training and the Faculty Fellow program to grow this expertise among our faculty and students.鈥� 

The interdisciplinary training program is supported by NSF (award number 2230127).
