Over the past decade, a number of mid-scale experimental research infrastructure (MERI) and testbed platforms have been awarded NSF's Computer and Information Science & Engineer (CISE) Directorate. For example, Chameleon, CloudLab, and PAWR (POWDER, COSMOS, AERPAW, ARA), FABRIC, SAGE, EdueLab, and SPHERE. The availability of these platforms enables new research, creating a broad, diverse community of researchers and providers with a common commitment to extending the accessibility of powerful experimental platforms to all users.The Mid-scale Experimental Research Infrastructure Forum (MERIF) started in 2019 to connectNSF CISE research infrastructure providers, researchers, and aspiring MERI grantees. The new MERIF will expand the scope by organizing and operating the next two annual workshops (MERIF 2024 and MERIF2025). This pair of workshops will help providers better propose and manage mid-scaleresearch infrastructure, create a community of diverse researchers deploying experimental research,supporting high-quality science outcomes, training a new generation of researchers, and fostering the possibility for cross-platform collaborative research. The workshop activities will be made available at merif.orgThis 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.

在过去的十年中，许多中型实验研究基础设施 (MERI) 和测试平台已获得 NSF 计算机和信息科学与工程师 (CISE) 理事会的认可。例如，Chameleon、CloudLab 和 PAWR（POWDER、COSMOS、AERPAW、ARA）、FABRIC、SAGE、EdueLab 和 SPHERE。这些平台的可用性促进了新的研究，创建了一个广泛、多样化的研究人员和提供者社区，共同致力于将强大的实验平台的可访问性扩展到所有用户。中型实验研究基础设施论坛 (MERIF) 于 2019 年启动，旨在connectNSF CISE 研究基础设施提供商、研究人员和有抱负的 MERI 受资助者。新的 MERIF 将通过组织和运营接下来的两次年度研讨会（MERIF 2024 和 MERIF2025）来扩大范围。这两场研讨会将帮助提供者更好地提出和管理中型研究基础设施，创建一个由多元化研究人员组成的社区，部署实验研究，支持高质量的科学成果，培训新一代研究人员，并培养跨平台合作研究的可能性。研讨会活动将在 merif.org 上提供。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
