The SX-TransPORT Pacific Islands Research and Education Network (PIREN) project supports the primary Research & Education (R&E) network backbone connecting Australia, New Zealand, Guam, and points beyond. Based in Hawaii, the project enables major advances in astronomy, oceanography, coral reef research, high energy physics, biomedical research, and data science. Primary PIREN partners are the Pacific Wave distributed exchange, which ensures that all PIREN-connect networks have full access to the entire domestic and global R&E network fabric, and the Network Startup Research Center (NSRC), which supports the development of campus networks as well as training and education for Pacific Islander network engineers, a highly underrepresented group in STEM.the PIREN project leverages both the international fiber optic systems that connect to multiple Hawaiian islands as well as the unparalleled international astronomy resources on Maunakea and Haleakala. The PIREN project also established and operates, in partnership with the University of Guam, the Guam Open Research and Education Exchange (GOREX), strategic new R&E network infrastructure in the Pacific that interconnects multiple submarine cable systems from the US, Asia and Australia to provide more resilient and lower latency paths among major research partners including Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Southeast Asia. PIREN is also the principal U.S. initiative to advance R&E networking among underserved Pacific Islands, which now have increased access to fiber-optic systems that interconnect in major hub locations such as Hawaii and Guam, and which are on the forefront of sustainability challenges arising from climate change and sea-level rise.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.

SX-TransPORT 太平洋岛屿研究和教育网络 (PIREN) 项目支持连接澳大利亚、新西兰、关岛及其他地区的主要研究和教育 (R&E) 网络骨干网。 该项目总部位于夏威夷，在天文学、海洋学、珊瑚礁研究、高能物理、生物医学研究和数据科学方面取得了重大进展。 PIREN 的主要合作伙伴是 Pacific Wave 分布式交换机，它确保所有 PIREN-connect 网络都能完全访问整个国内和全球 R&E 网络结构，以及网络初创研究中心 (NSRC)，它也支持校园网络的开发作为对太平洋岛民网络工程师的培训和教育，太平洋岛民网络工程师是 STEM 中代表性严重不足的群体。PIREN 项目利用连接多个夏威夷岛屿的国际光纤系统以及无与伦比的国际天文学资源莫纳克亚和哈雷阿卡拉。 PIREN 项目还与关岛大学、关岛开放研究和教育交流中心 (GOREX) 合作，在太平洋地区建立并运营战略性的新型 R&E 网络基础设施，该基础设施将来自美国、亚洲和澳大利亚的多个海底电缆系统互连起来，以提供日本、香港、新加坡和东南亚等主要研究合作伙伴之间更具弹性和更低延迟的路径。 PIREN 也是美国在服务不足的太平洋岛屿之间推进 R&E 网络的主要举措，这些岛屿现在增加了在夏威夷和关岛等主要枢纽地点互连的光纤系统的接入，并且处于气候带来的可持续发展挑战的前沿该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
