The Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Institute [MSI C(I)2] Providing a scalable mechanism for developing a CI-enabled science and engineering workforce
The MSI C(I)2 Partners
MSI C(I)2 Components • International grid community partnership • Cyberinfrastructure/e-Science training series for MSI faculty • MSI Grid Portal http: //www. educationgrid. org • Training and Education via Internet, workshops and summer schools • Distributed research, education, and innovation support and mentorship
Advisory Team • • Fran Berman, SDSC Dan Reed, UNC, Renaissance Computing Mark Ellisman, SDSC, BIRN Kelvin Droegemeier, Oklahoma, LEAD Ian Foster, Chicago, Open Science Grid Globus etc Dan Atkins, Michigan Malcolm Atkinson, NESC (UK National e-Science Center), ICEAGE (EU Grid Education)
Key Objectives Mobilize the MSI faculty and student community Minority Serving Institutions starting with a few but eventually reaching the over 335 in AIHEC HACU and NAFEO Provide access to physical infrastructure needed to support participation Support curriculum development, research, mentoring, and teaching teams Engage key Cyberinfrastructure (Grid) resources Identify best practices through evaluation
Our Goal “Support the development of computing professionals, interdisciplinary teams, and new organizational structures, such as virtual communities, needed to achieve the scientific breakthroughs made possible by advanced CI, paying particular attention to the opportunities to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups. ” Atkins CI report
