    Blueprint: Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence
    (Zenodo, 2021-03) Deelman, Ewa; Mandal, Anirban; Murillo, Angela P.; Nabrzyski, Jarek; Pascucci, Valerio; Ricci, Robert; Baldin, Ilya; Sons, Susan; Christopherson, Laura; Vardeman, Charles; Ferreira da Silva, Rafael; Wyngaard, Jane; Petruzza, Steve; Rynge, Mats; Vahi, Karan; Whitcup, Wendy R.; Drake, Josh; Scott, Erik; Library and Information Science, School of Informatics and Computing
    In 2018, NSF funded an effort to pilot a Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence (CI CoE or Center) that would serve the cyberinfrastructure (CI) needs of the NSF Major Facilities (MFs) and large projects with advanced CI architectures. The goal of the CI CoE Pilot project (Pilot) effort was to develop a model and a blueprint for such a CoE by engaging with the MFs, understanding their CI needs, understanding the contributions the MFs are making to the CI community, and exploring opportunities for building a broader CI community. This document summarizes the results of community engagements conducted during the first two years of the project and describes the identified CI needs of the MFs. To better understand MFs' CI, the Pilot has developed and validated a model of the MF data lifecycle that follows the data generation and management within a facility and gained an understanding of how this model captures the fundamental stages that the facilities' data passes through from the scientific instruments to the principal investigators and their teams, to the broader collaborations and the public. The Pilot also aimed to understand what CI workforce development challenges the MFs face while designing, constructing, and operating their CI and what solutions they are exploring and adopting within their projects. Based on the needs of the MFs in the data lifecycle and workforce development areas, this document outlines a blueprint for a CI CoE that will learn about and share the CI solutions designed, developed, and/or adopted by the MFs, provide expertise to the largest NSF projects with advanced and complex CI architectures, and foster a community of CI practitioners and researchers.

    Broadening student engagement to build the next generation of cyberinfrastructure professionals
    (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.

    Meeting the NSF Data Management Plan Requirement, IFRA 2012
    (2013-01-28) Coates, Heather L.
    This invited presentation was given at the 2012 Indiana Forum for Research Administrators. It covers the various issues related to the NSF Data Management Plan Requirement and highlights the role of data in digital preservation, scholarly communication, and the responsible conduct of research and research ethics. In addition, services and resources provided by the IUPUI University Library in support of the NSF requirement are introduced.

    Supporting the data lifecycle of major scientific facilities
    (iSchools, 2022-02-28) Murillo, Angela P.; Library and Information Science, School of Computing and Informatics
    The needs of very large-scale scientific endeavours require specific attention to ensure that both the data and the cyberinfrastructure that supports that data are handled in a way that safeguards critical data for current and future scientists. This careful handling of scientific data cyberinfrastructure will enable and ensure scientific research and discovery for generations to come. The previous National Science Foundation-funded Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellent Pilot Study and the subsequent CI Compass, a National Science Foundation Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence project, provides active support for Major Facilities. Major Facilitates represent the largest scientific and engineering cyberinfrastructures. This poster provides an overview of the NSF Major Facilities, CI Compass, and the past, current, and planned future work being conducted by CI Compass to support the vital scientific data cyberinfrastructures that the NSF Major Facilities represent.
