Software forms the backbone of much current research in a variety of scientific and engineering domains. The breadth and sophistication of software skills required for modern research software projects is increasing at an unprecedented pace. Despite this fact, an alarming number of researchers who develop software do not have adequate training in software development. Therefore, it is imperative for researchers who develop the software that will drive tomorrow’s critical research discoveries to have access to software engineering training at multiple stages of their career, to not only make them more productive, but also to make their software more robust, reliable, and sustainable. This project, INnovative Training Enabled by a Research Software Engineering Community of Trainers (INTERSECT), provides training on software development and engineering practices to research software developers who already possess an intermediate or advanced level of knowledge. To achieve this goal, INTERSECT provides expert-led training courses and workshops to help build the pipeline of computational researchers trained in best practices for research software development. This project serves the national interest and NSF's mission of promoting the progress of science by preparing a workforce who are trained in research software engineering best practices and addresses a gap in the current training and education available to research software developers.The INTERSECT project provides training in research software engineering practices for researchers who are engaged in software development by (1) involving practicing Research Software Engineers (RSEs) in workshops to curate, develop, and refine training material and (2) using experienced RSEs to conduct training courses focused on that material. INTERSECT assembles experienced RSEs from the growing RSE community across the country who are interested in being instructors, to gather information about their capabilities, knowledge, and expertise. In addition to developing materials, INTERSECT is curating the materials used in the workshops and training sessions into existing frameworks. This curation provides an open-source platform that allows RSEs to have ongoing engagement with the training material and helps coordinate efforts across the RSE-trainer community. To support the generation and curation of materials, INTERSECT sponsors multiple RSE-trainer workshops. These workshops connect practicing RSEs, who are also instructors, from across the country to both leverage the diversity of knowledge present in different institutions and to build and strengthen a national community of this increasingly important group of Cyberinfrastructure Professionals. By contributing to the growth of this community, INTERSECT will have a broad and long lasting impact on research software through increased access to peer support, resource and knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities for community members. By providing intermediate and advanced level training events and RSE workshops, INTERSECT will help to cultivate sophisticated Research Software Developers, bring awareness to the RSE career path, and strengthen the nascent national community of RSEs.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.

软件构成了许多科学和工程领域中许多当前研究的主干。现代研究软件项目所需的软件技能的广度和社会化在空前的空间中正在增加。尽管如此，开发软件的研究人员数量令人震惊，在软件开发方面没有足够的培训。因此，对于开发软件的研究人员来说，必须推动明天的关键研究发现，以便可以在职业生涯的多个阶段获得软件工程培训，这不仅使他们更有生产力，而且还可以使他们的软件更加稳健，可靠和可持续。该项目是由研究软件工程培训师（Intersect）提供的创新培训，它为已经具有中间或高级知识水平的研究软件开发人员提供了有关软件开发和工程实践的培训。为了实现这一目标，Intersect提供了专家领导的培训课程和研讨会，以帮助建立接受研究软件开发最佳实践的计算研究人员的管道。 This project serves the national interest and NSF's mission of promoting the progress of science by preparing a workforce who are trained in research software engineering best practices and addresses a gap in the current training and education available to research software developers.The INTERSECT project provides training in research software engineering practices for researchers who are engaged in software development by (1) involving practice Research Software Engineers (RSEs) in workshops to curate, develop, and refine training material and (2) using经验丰富的RSE进行了专注于该材料的培训课程。 Intersect组件从全国不断增长的RSE社区中经历了RSE，他们有兴趣成为讲师，以收集有关其能力，知识和专业知识的信息。除了开发材料外，Intersect还将在现有框架中策划研讨会和培训课程中使用的材料。该策划提供了一个开源平台，该平台使RSE可以持续与培训材料进行参与，并帮助协调RSE培训者社区的努力。为了支持材料的产生和策划，Intersect赞助了多个RSE培训者研讨会。这些研讨会将练习RSE（也是全国各地的教练）联系起来，既利用不同机构中存在的知识的多样性，并建立和加强了这一日益重要的网络基础设施专业人士的民族社区。通过为这个社区的发展做出贡献，Intersect将通过增加获得同伴支持，资源和知识共享以及社区成员的网络机会对研究软件产生广泛而持久的影响。通过提供中级和高级培训活动和RSE研讨会，Intersect将有助于培养复杂的研究软件开发人员，使人们对RSE职业道路有所了解，并加强了RSES的新生国家社区。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的crigitia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia corcria corritia corritia rection the Apportaution awears奖励。
