The $499,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the University of Chicago's "A SECURE HUB FOR ACCESS, RELIABILITY, AND EXCHANGE OF DATA (SHARED)" project. The SHARED platform serves as a centralized data management resource to facilitate data-driven research and collaboration across diverse disciplines, including cosmology, particle physics, linguistics, and psychology. The 3.9PB CEPH-based storage system enables secure preservation and access to valuable research data, contributing to understanding topics like dark matter, cosmic reionization, and language diversity. The project promotes interdisciplinary research, provides educational opportunities in data science, and fosters workforce diversity through partnerships with minority-serving institutions and K-12 engagement. This award, effective from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026, aligns with the NSF CISE program's mission to advance fundamental computer science and develop novel technologies for broad societal impact.
