Description
This program aims to prepare, nurture, and expand the U.S. scientific research workforce capable of creating, utilizing, and supporting advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI). The solicitation seeks proposals that will either broaden the adoption of CI tools and methods within the research community or integrate advanced CI and computational/data-driven skills into undergraduate and graduate curricula. Projects may focus on developing and disseminating innovative, scalable training, education, or instructional materials to address emerging needs and bottlenecks in workforce development, spanning postsecondary students, active researchers, and CI professionals. The program encourages multidisciplinary approaches, collaboration between CI and science/engineering domain disciplines, and broadening CI access across diverse institutions and communities.
