This CC* planning and research alignment project (CRIA) project is led by researchers from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC), Tennessee Technological University (TTU), and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). The mission is to build a regional Cyberinfrastructure consortium to advance collaborative computing research in Middle Tennessee, building on the team's expertise in computer and cyber systems. Middle Tennessee is an underserved but growing region of the nation that combines rural, suburban, and urban areas and sits at a nexus of major transportation routes and commerce in the Southeastern United States. The project is also improving regional workforce development, devising and implementing an innovative plan to broaden participation in computing in the surrounding region, and building interdisciplinary proposal teams to seek external funding to support educational and research activities of consortium members. UTC, TTU, and MTSU have complementary strengths further strengthened by consortium partners. MTSU, for example, has a strong agriculture component to their research endeavors UTC is the strongest of the three teaming institutions in computational science. Sharing information, cyber resources, expertise, and forming collaborative groups will enhance personnel at each member campus. A major goal of this CRIA project is to intensively study approaches to broadening participation in computer/computational science in order to develop and implement a regional plan for recruitment, engagement, and retention of students from underrepresented groups. The team is also committed to improving regional workforce development, which will have a broader impact on students within the teaming institutions and the region.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.

该 CC* 规划和研究协调项目 (CRIA) 项目由田纳西大学查塔努加分校 (UTC)、田纳西理工大学 (TTU) 和中田纳西州立大学 (MTSU) 的研究人员领导。其使命是建立一个区域网络基础设施联盟，以团队在计算机和网络系统方面的专业知识为基础，推进田纳西州中部的协作计算研究。田纳西州中部是美国一个服务不足但不断发展的地区，将农村、郊区和城市地区结合在一起，位于美国东南部主要交通路线和商业的枢纽。该项目还改善区域劳动力发展，制定和实施创新计划以扩大周边地区对计算的参与，并建立跨学科提案团队以寻求外部资金以支持联盟成员的教育和研究活动。 UTC、TTU 和 MTSU 的优势互补，通过联盟伙伴进一步加强。例如，MTSU 在其研究工作中具有强大的农业成分，而 UTC 是计算科学领域三个合作机构中实力最强的。共享信息、网络资源、专业知识以及组建协作小组将增强每个成员校园的人员队伍。 该 CRIA 项目的一个主要目标是深入研究扩大计算机/计算科学参与的方法，以便制定和实施招募、参与和保留代表性不足群体学生的区域计划。该团队还致力于改善地区劳动力发展，这将对合作机构和地区内的学生产生更广泛的影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
