Science and engineering research and education have dynamic and growing needs encompassing new technology requirements from physics-based simulation to artificial intelligence and using computing through workflows spanning local computing resources to the public cloud. The number of cyberinfrastructure (CI) professionals critical to support these activities within the research enterprise at higher education institutions is too few and, frequently, not well-integrated into regional and national efforts that would serve as sources of innovation. This project, CI PIVOT, will address these workforce issues by creating several teams of CI professionals trained with tailored, best-of-breed educational materials who will contribute, collaborate, and co-create as part of local, regional, and national research partnerships. These partnerships will promote the progress of science and result in significant advances in the fields of geoscience, engineering, and social behavioral and economic sciences. CI PIVOT will further contribute to the national interest of developing a globally-competitive, diverse workforce and broadening participation through innovative project activities.The team's goals include: 1) enabling cross-institutional partnerships, sustainability, and promotion of CIPs as valuable and valued research partners; 2) supporting and advancing national research projects; 3) building a scalable workforce development in geoscience, engineering, and social behavioral and economic sciences for the advancement of trustworthy computational science; and 4) lowering the barrier to entry for building institutional research (support) capacity for institutions beyond our own. To actualize these goals, CI PIVOT will employ programmatic activities prioritizing inclusiveness and broadening representation. These activities consist of listening tours (stakeholder interviews and requirements gathering), co-envisioning retreats (team self-selected goal and best practice setting), future-creating workshops (method to strategically evolve the program for stakeholders and future CI professionals), and computational carpentries (workshops promoting computational skills development). The CI PIVOT program will train CI professionals in various areas, including tools to manage workflows using advanced cyberinfrastructure, parallel, and accelerated code development, workflow performance analysis and optimization, advanced cybersecurity, machine and deep learning techniques, and cloud workflow orchestration. Through productive collaborations and partnerships, CI PIVOT will advance science with technical publications relevant to geoscience, engineering, or social behavioral and economic sciences.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.

科学与工程研究和教育具有动态和不断增长的需求，包括从基于物理的模拟到人工智能的新技术需求，并通过跨越本地计算资源到公共云的工作流进行计算。在高等教育机构的研究企业中支持这些活动至关重要的网络基础设施（CI）专业人士的数量太少了，而且通常不融合到区域和国家努力中，这些努力将作为创新的来源。该项目CI Pivot将通过创建一些由量身定制的，最佳的教育材料培训的CI专业人士团队来解决这些劳动力问题，这些材料将作为本地，地区和国家研究伙伴关系的一部分做出贡献，合作和共同创造。这些伙伴关系将促进科学的进步，并在地球科学，工程以及社会行为和经济科学领域取得重大进步。 CI Pivot将进一步为建立全球竞争，多样化的劳动力和通过创新的项目活动扩大参与的国家利益做出贡献。该团队的目标包括：1）启用跨机构合作伙伴关系，可持续性，并促进CIPS作为有价值和有价值的研究伙伴的CIP； 2）支持和推进国家研究项目； 3）在地球科学，工程和社会行为和经济科学方面建立可扩展的劳动力发展，以提高可信赖的计算科学； 4）降低我们超越机构的机构研究（支持）能力的进入障碍。为了实现这些目标，CI Pivot将采用优先考虑包容性和扩大代表性的程序化活动。这些活动包括听力游览（利益相关者的访谈和需求收集），共同探讨的务虚会（团队自我选择的目标和最佳实践设置），未来创建的研讨会（从战略上发展利益相关者和未来CI专业人士的计划），以及计算木工（促进计算技能开发）。 CI Pivot计划将在各个领域培训CI专业人员，包括使用高级网络基础架构，并行和加速的代码开发，工作流程性能分析和优化，高级网络安全，机器和深度学习技术以及云工作流程编排的工具。通过生产性的合作和合作伙伴关系，CI Pivot将通过与地球科学，工程或社会行为和经济科学相关的技术出版物来推进科学。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审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
