Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is a fabric that pervades and enables modern science and has been long-supported at NSF. CI comprises advanced computing, data, software, and networking infrastructure, as well as the necessary specialized human capital. NSF-supported Large Facilities are major scientific research platforms and represent some of the NSF's most substantial investments. Facilities rely heavily on existing CI and new CI capabilities and solutions to support their scientific communities. However, CI used by facilities is currently predominantly built independently by each facility. In 2015, NSF began to support a series of workshops focused on CI for Large Facilities to bring together the facility and CI communities to share common experiences and challenges, discuss potential collaborations and opportunities for leveraging CI within the community. The 2019 Workshop on NSF Large Facilities and CI aims to continue and advance the discussion, exchange, and community building, through a forum for sharing of ideas and experiences and, importantly, prepare for future CI research, development, and deployment. Specific goals of the workshop include 1) identifying common cyberinfrastructure challenges among facilities, 2) understanding the facility data lifecycle, including the commonalities and differences between data lifecycle stages, 3) exploring opportunities for joint training and education among facilities and large CI projects, 4) sharing experiences in CI project management, and 5) discussing approaches to building a community of CI professionals. An important focus of the workshop will be the CI needed to support the entire facility science lifecycle, which spans data capture and processing, data storage and archiving, and data access, analysis, visualization, and dissemination. The exploration of potential collaborations on common CI challenges is another important aim. Other workshop topics may include computation, network management, and education and workforce development. A workshop report will be posted online to disseminate the discussions and findings to the broader CI community. Participation will be encouraged from a diverse set of CI researchers and professionals at various stages in their careers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

网络基础设施（CI）是一种遍布现代科学并在NSF上长期支持的织物。 CI包括高级计算，数据，软件和网络基础架构以及必要的专业人力资本。 NSF支持的大型设施是主要的科学研究平台，代表了NSF最重要的投资。设施严重依赖现有的CI和新的CI功能和解决方案来支持其科学社区。但是，设施使用的CI目前主要由每个设施独立建造。 2015年，NSF开始支持一系列专注于CI的研讨会，以供大型设施汇集设施和CI社区，以分享共同的经验和挑战，讨论在社区内利用CI的潜在合作和机会。 NSF大型设施和CI的2019年研讨会旨在通过一个论坛来分享思想和经验，并为未来的CI研究，开发和部署做准备，继续进行讨论，交流和社区建设。研讨会的具体目标包括1）确定设施之间的共同网络基础设施挑战，2）了解设施数据生命周期，包括数据生命周期阶段之间的共同点和差异，3）探索设施之间的联合培训和教育的机会，以及大型CI项目，4）4）在CI项目管理中共享经验，以及5）在建立社区的CI群体中，讨论社区的社区。研讨会的一个重要重点将是支持整个设施科学生命周期所需的CI，该机构涵盖了数据捕获和处理，数据存储和归档以及数据访问，分析，可视化和传播。对常见CI挑战的潜在合作的探索是另一个重要目的。其他研讨会主题可能包括计算，网络管理以及教育和劳动力发展。 研讨会报告将在线发布，以向更广泛的CI社区传播讨论和发现。将在其职业生涯的各个阶段的各种CI研究人员和专业人士的聚会中鼓励参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
