This $337,363 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, with an award date of April 1, 2024, supports the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst in providing a high-speed, reliable network connection between the university's computing resources and major national/international research networks. The goal is to enable UMass researchers to participate in big data and scientific computing projects that rely on sharing large datasets across institutions. The new 400+ Gbps fiber-based network connection, implemented through the Northeast Research and Education Network (NEREN) consortium, will meet modern standards for speed and reliability to facilitate these collaborative research efforts in fields like astronomy, computer science, life sciences, and physics. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
