Four Awards Sponsored for UCScienceNet Expansion
The Office of the Vice President for Research and UC Information Technologies jointly sponsored an expansion of the National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) UCScienceNet (UCSN). UCSN is UCs high-speed, friction free, research-dedicated network. These awards are designed to increase end-to-end, high volume data transfer capabilities among researchers to accelerate scientific discovery and enhance knowledge creation.
We look forward to the continuing growth and investment in 21st century research partnerships and the technology needed to enhance research capabilities, said Nelson Vincent, Vice President for Information Technology and CIO.
Awardees will work closely with UCITs Brett Kottmann, the NSF-funded Cyberinfrastructure Engineer and Educator, to construct and enhance their UCSN connections and data transfers.
These awards will enable a broad spectrum of investigators to accelerate and extend their existing research to create new opportunities for collaboration and education, said Vice President for Research, Patrick Limbach.
