Abstract: The National Science Foundation's vision and investment plans for cyberinfrastructure (CI) are designed to address the evolving needs of the science and engineering research community. Senior leadership and program staff from NSF’s Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) will discuss OAC's vision, strategic and national priorities, as well as the latest funding opportunities across all aspects of the research cyberinfrastructure ecosystem. Substantial time will be devoted to Q&A between attendees and NSF staff.
Long Description: National research cyberinfrastructure (CI) has become essential to computational and data intensive discovery and innovation across all domains of science and engineering (S&E) research and education, and to ensuring US leadership in S&E, economic competitiveness, and national security. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) has long supported the broad availability and innovative use of CI in alignment with NSF's mission to “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense; and for other purposes.”
This Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session will provide an overview of OAC’s strategy for cyberinfrastructure that addresses growing needs across S&E research domains, informed by recent community input and reports. Recent investments and funding opportunities will be presented across a wide spectrum of CI topics including advanced computing, networking, cybersecurity, data and software CI, and learning and workforce development. Also relayed will be updates on community-scale services available to PIs via ACCESS, PaTh, and CI Centers of Excellence, as well as continuing goals for democratizing access to CI. The BoF will also cover NSF and OAC engagements in national initiatives and priorities such as Artificial Intelligence, Public Access and Open Science, and Future of Advanced Computing Ecosystem.
This BoF continues a highly successful, well-attended annual series at previous Supercomputing meetings. Anticipated outcomes include a better-informed research community, and submission of more innovative, potentially transformative proposals to NSF.
