Increasing use of advanced computing in academic and research pursuits has encouraged two-year institutions to offer their students and researchers pathways to large-scale computing. Advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources are required to support the educators, students and researchers engaged in cloud computing, data-sciences, and related cross-cutting fields such as smart manufacturing offered at these institutions. While community colleges differ in terms of enrollment, demographics, geographical location, business models, and programs offered, the underlying institutional needs to store, access, manage, analyze, compute and curate their data remain the same. By offering a unique collaborative space for regional computing, BRICCs-Pathways will support burgeoning research and education programs in cyber-enabled cross-cutting disciplines at two-year institutions.This award establishes a BRICCs (Bringing Research Innovation to Community Colleges)-Pathways for Regional Computing, continuing and expanding previous planning and multi-institutional engagement activities, but focused around smaller institutions in Texas. BRICCs-Pathways supports these institutions in developing models to advance CI on campus. The project develops scalable and portable frameworks to promote regional computing efforts by (i) promoting collaborations with state agencies, four-year institutions, and national CI center in their region; (ii) analyzing the implementations of networking models; (iii) exploring funded models to understand whether anchor agencies are needed for successful implementation; (iv) leveraging partnerships and assimilated information to assist institutions apply for funding for CI resources; (v) studying the technical computing and network characteristics to find an appropriate balance between network security and research and educational needs; and (vi) exploring means to make computing accessible to researchers and students at these institutions. BRICCs-Pathways alleviates the need for several individual institutional studies by producing workshop reports, implementation studies, shared developed materials, and a set of recommendations to the community.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.

在学术和研究追求中越来越多地使用高级计算，这鼓励了两年的机构为学生和研究人员提供大规模计算的途径。需要先进的网络基础设施（CI）资源来支持从事云计算，数据划分和相关跨界领域的教育者，学生和研究人员，例如这些机构提供的智能制造。尽管社区学院在注册，人口统计，地理位置，商业模式和计划方面有所不同，但存储，访问，管理，分析，计算和策划其数据的基本机构需求保持不变。 通过为区域计算提供独特的协作空间，BRICC-Pathways将在两年制机构的网络跨界学科中支持新兴的研究和教育计划。该奖项建立了BRICCS（将研究创新带到社区大学为社区学院带到社区学院） - 对先前的规划和扩展较小的规划和多项式进行了跨越跨越的范围，但要参与较小的规划和跨越跨越的范围。 BRICCS Pathways支持这些机构开发在校园中推进CI的模型。该项目开发了可扩展的便携式框架，以促进（i）促进与州机构，四年制机构和国家CI中心的合作； （ii）分析网络模型的实现； （iii）探索资助的模型，以了解是否需要成功实施锚定机构； （iv）利用合作伙伴关系和同化信息来协助机构申请CI资源的资金； （v）研究技术计算和网络特征，以在网络安全与研究和教育需求之间找到适当的平衡； （vi）探索方法，使这些机构的研究人员和学生可以访问计算。 BRICCS轨道通道通过制作研讨会报告，实施研究，共享的材料以及向社区的一系列建议来减轻对几项个人机构研究的需求。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支持的。
