Program description
The program supports projects that aim 1) to prepare scientists, engineers, and educators to design, develop, adopt, and deploy cyber-based tools and environments for research and learning, and 2) to expand and enhance participation in these activities by diverse groups of people and organizations (especially underrepresented) as both creators and users of cyberinfrastructure. The program will fund two types of projects, Demonstration projects (up to $250,000) and Implementation projects (up to $1,000,000), both aimed at the preparation of a diverse, cyberinfrastructure-savvy science and engineering workforce. Both types of projects involve multidisciplinary collaborations and partnerships between academic institutions of higher learning, secondary schools, government, industry, professional societies, other not-for-profit organizations, and international partners.
