The Networking Technology and Systems Virtual Organization (NeTS-VO) will foster communication and collaboration, expand the reach of high-quality resources including datasets, testbeds and workshops, and highlight advances within the Networking Technology and Systems (NeTS) community. NeTS-VO will provide easier access to potential NeTS researchers and Principle Investigators who have not had the opportunity to grow their network of professional contacts. By making access to these resources transparent and easily available, and fostering interactive communication, NeTS-VO will improve access to the NeTS community and resources, especially to students and researchers from historically minority institutions and institutions that primarily focus on undergraduate education. NetS-VO is a pilot project and in its initial phase will consist of a website, discussion platform and virtual workshops. The website will feature the latest information from NSF NeTS, from the NSF NeTS community and sites of interest to the NeTS community. The discussion platform will facilitate interaction among current and potential NeTS researchers. The virtual workshops will focus on a broad range of broadening participation topics. The platform will be developed to be portable and easily maintainable. With this "one-stop-shop" for the NSF NeTS community, the platform will provide a hub for identifying potential resources and collaborators. It will also facilitate access to NSF NeTS-related data sets and testbeds. By providing this platform, it will improve the scope and quality of submitted NSF NeTS proposals thus advancing our networking and telecommunications systems. The NeTS-VO project will encourage mentorship between more experienced NeTS researchers and researchers who need guidance in how to prepare and follow through on a successful proposal. Through virtual workshops, under-represented researchers will get valuable feedback on the proposal writing process. As the platform is open to the public, it can also inform under-represented K-12 students of the exciting opportunities in networking and telecommunications research. This platform will be the public face of the NeTS community and a vehicle for improving access to research-related resources.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.

网络技术和系统虚拟组织（NETS-VO）将促进通信和协作，扩大包括数据集，测试床和研讨会在内的高质量资源的影响，并突出网络技术和系统（NETS）社区内的进步。 Nets-VO将为潜在的网络研究人员和主要的研究人员提供更容易的机会，他们没有机会发展其专业联系网络。通过访问这些资源透明且容易获得，并促进交互式沟通，Nets-Vo将改善对Nets社区和资源的访问，尤其是对历史悠久的少数民族机构和主要专注于本科教育的学生和研究人员的访问。 Nets-Vo是一个试点项目，在其初始阶段，将由网站，讨论平台和虚拟研讨会组成。该网站将提供来自NSF NETS的最新信息，来自NSF NETS社区和感兴趣的网站到网络社区。 讨论平台将促进当前和潜在网络研究人员之间的互动。虚拟研讨会将集中在广泛的扩展参与主题上。 该平台将被开发为便携式且易于维护。借助NSF Nets社区的“一站式商店”，该平台将为识别潜在资源和合作者提供枢纽。它还将促进访问与NSF NETS相关的数据集和测试台。通过提供此平台，它将提高提交的NSF Nets建议的范围和质量，从而提高我们的网络和电信系统。 Nets-Vo项目将鼓励经验丰富的网络研究人员和研究人员之间的指导，他们需要指导如何准备和遵循成功的建议。通过虚拟研讨会，代表性不足的研究人员将对提案写作过程获得宝贵的反馈。由于该平台向公众开放，它还可以为代表性不足的K-12学生提供网络和电信研究中令人兴奋的机会。该平台将是Nets社区的公众面孔，也将是改善与研究相关资源的访问权的工具。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影响的评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
