Big science and big data scientific projects rely critically on high speed, reliable internet network connections to share and process scientific data. Data flows through major national and international research networks, which connect national laboratories and research universities across the world. The main goal of this project is to provide a modern network connection between the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst and these networks to enable scientific projects in Astronomy, Computer Science, Life Sciences, and Physics. Several big data scientific projects at UMass Amherst rely on sharing information with other research institutes across the world via major national and international research networks, such as ESnet and Internet2. The main computing infrastructure for the projects at UMass Amherst is located at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC). This project connects the UMass Amherst computing resources at the MGHPCC directly to the major research networks. The connection is carried out as part of the Northeast Research and Education Network (NEREN), which is a consortium of several educational institutions in the northeast and upstate NY. The new 400+ Gbps fiber-based connection between these institutions and the major research networks meets the required modern standards for connection speed and reliability, and enables participation in big data research projects.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.

大型科学和大数据科学项目批判性地依靠高速，可靠的互联网网络连接来共享和处理科学数据。数据流入了主要的国家和国际研究网络，这些网络将国家实验室和全球研究型大学联系起来。该项目的主要目的是在马萨诸塞大学（UMass）Amherst和这些网络之间提供现代网络联系，以实现天文学，计算机科学，生命科学和物理学的科学项目。 UMass Amherst的几个大数据科学项目依靠与世界各地的其他研究机构通过主要国家和国际研究网络（例如ESNET和Internet2）共享信息。 UMass Amherst项目的主要计算基础架构位于马萨诸塞州绿色高性能计算中心（MGHPCC）。该项目将MGHPCC的UMass Amherst计算资源直接连接到主要的研究网络。该联系是作为东北研究和教育网络（NEREN）的一部分进行的，该网络是东北和纽约州北部的几个教育机构的财团。这些机构与主要研究网络之间的新的400多个Gbps纤维的连接符合连接速度和可靠性所需的现代标准，并可以参与大数据研究项目。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和更广泛影响的评估来审查审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
