The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) has been awarded a $399,648 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070). The award will enable AMNH to upgrade its campus networking infrastructure and expand its high-performance computational capabilities to better support scientific collaborations, data-intensive research, and public engagement initiatives. Specifically, the grant will allow AMNH to connect all its laboratories and computational resources through a shared 100 Gbps backbone, enabling greater access to national services such as the National Research Platform and Open Science Pool. Additionally, the project will upgrade AMNH's data transfer nodes and performance monitoring infrastructure to operate at 100 Gbps, further enhancing the institution's ability to collaborate effectively with partners across the nation and globe. This grant award supports NSF's mission to advance scientific discovery and technological innovation, and reflects the foundation's confidence in AMNH's capabilities as a leading research and educational institution. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
