The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Delaware a $443,455 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to build a research data storage and management platform. The university is acquiring two 1.6 PB Open Storage Network (OSN) storage pods and co-locating data service nodes to provide a scalable, shareable, and extensible data storage system for collaborative data-intensive research. This platform will enable research data to be more findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) across the broader research community. The award period runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025. 20% of the storage capacity will be made available to users outside the University of Delaware through access allocations, supporting educational and collaborative data sharing initiatives.
