Specifically, the awardee, Washington University, will create practical software infrastructure enabling researchers to develop, evaluate, and distribute networking software operating across smartphones,...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, CFDA 47.070, provides $611,586 to the Board of Trustees of Illinois State University to build an advanced cyberinfrastructure to support diverse research and educational needs on campus. The funded cyberinfrastructure upgrades the campus research network to 100G capacity, integrates a 100G Science DMZ for improved external connectivity, and establishes a 100G...

This $500,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) will support the development of a geospatial big data infrastructure and services. Led by researchers at North Carolina Central University in partnership with three other minority-serving institutions, the award will coordinate the creation and sharing of new GIS data layers according to FAIR data principles. Standardized...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program) provides $298,683 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to develop an open-source ecosystem called STARMAP. STARMAP aims to lower technical barriers and empower city/county agencies, researchers, educators, and citizen scientists to easily explore and exchange geospatial data such as maps, satellite imagery, and location-based statistics. The...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop tools and models to guide the design of applications and network algorithms for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. The 3-year project aims to improve understanding of the unique properties and variability of LEO satellite networks, and leverage this knowledge to enhance network protocols...

This $299,574 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure solution for training large-scale Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to support spatiotemporal prediction and modeling of geographically distributed and heterogeneous data. The project led by Emory University will address key research challenges in formulating spatiotemporal prediction within a...

This $359,936 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a three-year observational program to measure winds and temperatures in the thermosphere near the ionospheric peak density from multiple sites along the eastern seaboard of the Americas. The project uses a network of Fabry-Perot interferometers to provide high-precision, real-time data on thermospheric dynamics and conditions that impact critical communication, navigation,...

This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070), supports the development of a novel "Dynamic Network Telescope" system. The $1.2 million grant aims to deploy and evaluate this experimental system at the Merit Network Telescope, one of the largest network telescopes available to the research community. The project will enable the Merit Network, a nonprofit regional research...

This $599,801 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a robust scientific community and accompanying cyberinfrastructure (CI) for using ground-based imagery to study environmental processes. The key deliverables include: Open-source software (GaugeCam, GRIME-AI) that streamlines and documents reproducible workflows for capturing and analyzing ground-based imagery. Benchmark data products, including data from PhenoCam...
