The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) and Arizona State University (ASU) are creating a cross-institutional research engagement network (CIREN) for cyberinfrastructure (CI) facilitators. The purpose of CIREN is to fill a critical gap in the development of CI facilitators by training current and future CI facilitators and expanding their ability to engage in transformational research utilizing high-performance computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. These highly sought after facilitation skill sets are difficult for many research projects to acquire. To address this challenge, CIREN provides and executes a framework that will recruit, train, and engage CI facilitators within multi-disciplinary, cross-institutional research projects, thereby increasing their impact and scope, and serving as an effective model to nurture an innovative research community. This activity provides an entry point for novice facilitators and a sustainable career path for CI facilitators at academic institutions by increasing the availability of candidates as well as increasing the diversity of this talent pool through outreach, entry-level training, and peer-mentoring opportunities. CIREN elevates the role of CI facilitators in the research community and lowers barriers to their entry into the CI workforce. CIREN implements a diverse facilitator pipeline, bolstered by training, mentoring, and knowledge exchange through organized community networking events that serves as an effective model to nurture an innovative research community. Network websites increase the visibility and recognition of CI Facilitators and connect them to researchers. Training and resource materials are available through an open repository. CIREN recruits facilitators from broad and diverse communities including regional and national CI organizations, partner universities, and engages with national CI infrastructure via ACCESS. Through mutual collaboration, governance, and assessment, the CIREN project develops a CI facilitation model that is easily reproduced and adopted by other institutions to meet their scientific and research goals.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.

田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校 (UTK) 和亚利桑那州立大学 (ASU) 正在为网络基础设施 (CI) 促进者创建一个跨机构研究参与网络 (CIREN)。 CIREN 的目的是通过培训当前和未来的 CI 促进者并扩展他们利用高性能计算、机器学习和人工智能从事变革性研究的能力，来填补 CI 促进者发展中的关键空白。这些备受追捧的促进技能对许多研究项目来说很难获得。为了应对这一挑战，CIREN 提供并执行了一个框架，该框架将招募、培训和吸引 CI 促进者参与多学科、跨机构的研究项目，从而扩大其影响和范围，并作为培育创新研究的有效模式。社区。这项活动通过外展、入门级培训和同行指导机会增加候选人的可用性以及增加人才库的多样性，为新手辅导员提供了一个切入点，并为学术机构的 CI 辅导员提供了可持续的职业道路。 CIREN 提升了 CI 促进者在研究界的作用，并降低了他们进入 CI 队伍的障碍。 CIREN 实施了多元化的促进者渠道，并通过有组织的社区网络活动提供培训、指导和知识交流，作为培育创新研究社区的有效模式。网络网站提高了 CI 协调员的知名度和认可度，并将他们与研究人员联系起来。培训和资源材料可通过开放存储库获取。 CIREN 从广泛和多样化的社区（包括区域和国家 CI 组织、合作大学）招募协调员，并通过 ACCESS 参与国家 CI 基础设施。通过相互协作、治理和评估，CIREN 项目开发了一种 CI 促进模型，该模型很容易被其他机构复制和采用，以实现其科学研究目标。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用评估结果被认为值得支持。基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
