Current Opportunities in CI Training

A key goal of the National Science Foundation is to support the development of new skills and professions needed for full realization of Cyberinfrastructure‐enabled opportunities. CI consists of computing systems, data storage systems, advanced instruments and data repositories, visualization environments, and people, all linked together by software and high performance networks to improve research productivity and enable scientific breakthroughs not otherwise possible.

Preference for funding is given to NSF EPSCoR Track 1 (Climate Change) and Track 2 (CI)Participants (Faculty, Post‐docs, Graduate and Undergraduate Students), but others are encouraged to apply; use the application below.

Upcoming Training Opportunities and Application

Interdisciplinary Modeling Course, July 2010

In July, 2010 the Western Tri-State Consortium sponsored a graduate level class, "Interdisciplinary Modeling: Water-Related Issues and Changing Climate" at the University of Nevada at Reno. Twenty-three graduate students, including 7 from New Mexico, took the class in which they were introduced to models used in a variety of disciplines and considered the applications and limitations of these models. Led by Drs. Laurel Saito (UNR), Timothy Link (University of Idaho), and Alexander (Sam) Fernald (NM State University), 24 faculty members contributed to the course through lectures and lab activities.
