The University of Montana has been awarded a $499,047 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) to acquire and provision a flexible, cost-effective, tiered data storage system. This storage system will increase the university's overall storage capacity to 5.3PB and improve performance and researcher usability, supporting project-driven needs identified by UM researchers across various disciplines, including forestry, ecology, geophysics, and SARS-CoV-2 research. The data storage system will leverage a 100GB internal network and share 20% of the resource through the Open Science Data Federation, supporting a diverse research community across the Montana University System, tribal colleges, and the national research community. Additionally, the project will provide experiential learning opportunities for UM information technology students and co-host a GO FAIR US event to promote FAIR data principles. The award period is from August 15, 2023, to July 31, 2025.
