Training-based Workforce Development for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (CyberTraining)

The CyberTraining program seeks to prepare, nurture, and grow the national scientific research workforce for creating, utilizing, and supporting advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) to enable and potentially transform fundamental science and engineering research and education. The program aims to ensure broad adoption of CI tools, methods, and resources by the research community to catalyze major research advances and enhance researchers' abilities to lead the development of new CI. It also seeks to integrate core literacy and discipline-appropriate advanced skills in advanced CI as well as computational and data-driven methods for advancing fundamental research into the Nation's undergraduate and graduate educational curriculum and instructional materials. The program supports innovative, scalable training, education, and curriculum development activities targeting postsecondary students, active researchers, and CI professionals across multidisciplinary communities. Projects should lead to transformative changes in research workforce preparedness for advanced CI-enabled research in both short and long term.
