    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2023) Murillo, Angela P.; Brower, Don; Hossain, Sarowar; Kee, Kerk; Mandel, Anirban; Nabrzyski, Jarek; Scott, Erik; Ewing, Rodney; Deelman, Ewa
    The CI Compass Fellowship Program (CICF) was developed to broaden undergraduate student participation in cyberinfrastructure (CI) research, development, and operations. CICF is a distinctive program for undergraduate students pursuing studies in computer science, information science, data science, and other related fields. During year one of the program, CICF had six students participate from two institutions. During year 2 of the program, CICF had fourteen students participate from nine institutions. This poster provides details of the CICF program development and summarizes the impact of the first two years.

    Broadening Student Participation in Cyberinfrastructure Research and Development
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2022) Murillo, Angela P.; Deelman, Ewa; Nabrzyski, Jarek; Pottier, Loïc
    This poster presents preliminary observations from the pilot year of a CI Compass Fellowship Program (CICF) that was created to broaden student participation in cyberinfrastructure research and development. CICF is part of the CI Compass project, which is the National Science Foundation (NSF) Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence, created to provide support and enhance the data lifecycle of NSF Major Facilities (MFs) [1]. MFs are the largest-scale scientific efforts that the NSF supports and are highly diverse, have heterogeneous data, and a wide range of cyberinfrastructure for capturing, processing, archiving, and disseminating data, as well as providing access to sophisticated instruments and computational capabilities. MFs span many science domains, including astronomy, climate, ecology, natural hazard, ocean science, physics, and seismology [2]. Due to the complexity of the cyberinfrastructure and data that supports MFs, it is critical that we create educational opportunities for students interested in pursuing a career in this specialized cyberinfrastructure that supports large-scale science. The CICF program aims to provide students the opportunity to learn about cyberinfrastructure development and MFs, develop cyberinfrastructure-related skill sets important to the work of MFs, and engage directly with the MF CI professionals.
