Like the physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, power grids, telephone lines, and water systems that support modern society, "cyberinfrastructure" refers to the distributed computer, information and communication technologies combined with the personnel and integrating components that provide a long-term platform to empower scientific research. Scientists and engineers increasingly rely on the availability of globally accessible information cyberinfrastructure to drive research and education.Cyberinfrastructure in the 21st Century will be involved in developing resources, such as supercomputers, high-capacity mass-storage systems, system software suites and programming environments, interactive visualization, large-scale data repositories and digitized scientific data management systems.These will be connected by high capacity networks of various reach and granularity, coupled with an array of software tools and services that hide the underlying complexities and heterogeneity, while seeking to provide ubiquitous access and enhanced usability. Further, support will be needed for the training of current and future generations of researchers, educators, and technical specialists who will use and support these resources. That is where the work of this research team is directed. In collaboration with related cyber-infrastructure projects iVDGL, CHEPREO, and also UltraLight E&O efforts, this group will reach a variety of students at collaborating institutes including a significant number of students from traditionally underrepresented groups and minorities and students from our collaborating international institutions.

就像支撑现代社会的道路、桥梁、电网、电话线和供水系统等物理基础设施一样，“网络基础设施”是指分布式计算机、信息和通信技术与人员和集成组件相结合，提供长期平台赋能科学研究。科学家和工程师越来越依赖全球可访问的信息网络基础设施来推动研究和教育。21世纪的网络基础设施将涉及资源开发，例如超级计算机、大容量海量存储系统、系统软件套件和编程环境，交互式可视化、大规模数据存储库和数字化科学数据管理系统。这些将通过各种范围和粒度的高容量网络连接起来，再加上一系列隐藏潜在复杂性和复杂性的软件工具和服务。异构性，同时寻求提供无处不在的访问和增强的可用性。此外，还需要对当前和未来几代研究人员、教育工作者和技术专家的培训提供支持，他们将使用和支持这些资源。 这就是该研究小组的工作方向。 通过与相关网络基础设施项目 iVDGL、CHEPREO 以及 UltraLight E&O 的合作，该小组将覆盖合作机构的各类学生，其中包括大量来自传统上代表性不足的群体和少数族裔的学生以及来自我们国际合作机构的学生。
