The Pennsylvania State University received $1.33 million in funding from the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to expand regional cyberinfrastructure capacity across Pennsylvania. The award, obligated on March 15, 2026, with completion targeted for February 29, 2028, supports the PA-Science-DMZ-2024 initiative, which deploys advanced networking infrastructure to connect three under-resourced institutions—Allegheny College, Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, and West Chester University—to the Pennsylvania Science Network and regional high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and storage resources. This infrastructure deployment enables high-performance data transmission and computational access, addressing critical connectivity gaps that previously restricted these institutions' participation in data-intensive research and modern scientific education. The project delivers strategic capacity-building activities designed to maximize research impact and sustainability across multiple scientific domains including AI, advanced manufacturing, astronomy/astrophysics, computer science, and cybersecurity. Key deliverables include establishing collaborative relationships between campus researchers and cyberinfrastructure professionals, piloting innovative cyberinfrastructure technologies, facilitating research and education collaborations across Pennsylvania institutions, developing the regional cyberinfrastructure workforce, and establishing sustainable operational models for cyberinfrastructure technologies. The initiative leverages complementary investments including the National AI Research Cyberecosystem, state research and education networks, and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's ADAPT program to create a replicable regional template for enhancing research capacity at resource-constrained institutions.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
