The National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded $1,012,087 to the University of New Mexico (effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2028) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to modernize the cyberinfrastructure of the Environmental Data Initiative (EDI). The project will develop Phoenix, a cloud-native successor to EDI's existing repository infrastructure, replacing legacy software with a modular microservices architecture implemented in Python and designed for scalable deployment using containers, serverless computing, and cloud-native object storage. This modernization will enhance repository performance, reliability, security, scalability, and long-term sustainability while ensuring environmental and ecological research data remain findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable, and preserved for future generations. The upgraded cyberinfrastructure will strengthen the nation's scientific data ecosystem by improving access to trusted, analysis-ready environmental data that support scientific discovery, education, environmental stewardship, sustainable resource management, and evidence-based decision-making. By enhancing data interoperability and developing artificial intelligence-ready data resources, the project will accelerate data-intensive and AI-enabled research, as well as biotechnology innovation, thereby advancing the nation's capacity to address complex environmental and natural resources challenges while enabling researchers to more effectively share, discover, and reuse critical environmental information collected over decades by thousands of researchers.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
