The University of Texas at Arlington received a $149,415 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070). The award funds the development and testing of an online, weeklong bootcamp and mentoring program for undergraduate researchers in the water and energy sectors to develop competencies in fair data practices and introductory machine learning. Specifically, the bootcamp provides training in topics such as large-scale data access, data analytics, and data visualization aligned with foundational FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles. Participating undergraduate researchers will continue receiving mentoring support throughout the summer and present their research applying the new skills at a closing online symposium in fall 2024. The award also includes two workshops to identify opportunities for expanding cyberinfrastructure adoption in civil engineering research and inform future bootcamp content and delivery. The training program aims to strengthen the future science workforce by equipping diverse undergraduate researchers with cyberinfrastructure competencies.
