The National Science Foundation awarded a $659,979 project grant to the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to acquire a big data high-performance computing cluster. The computing cluster will enable novel interdisciplinary research, outreach, and training activities highly relevant to the environment and society. As a shared resource supporting research across colleges and departments, the cluster is expected to advance programs in agriculture, environmental protection, technology development, and industry. The University of California, Riverside's High Performance Computing Center will manage the cluster to support courses and develop new data science programs, with a focus on traditionally underrepresented student populations in STEM fields. The acquisition of this computing infrastructure aims to attract outstanding students and benefit a wide array of translational research and technology-based economic development, with the award period running from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025.
