Enhanced Research and Education Infrastructure
Broader impacts can integrate one or multiple “cords” of research, education and outreach, and diversity activities, as mapped in examples below:
| Research | Education and Outreach | Diversity | Example impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Develop the NCN Cyber Platform (nanoHUB) to allow users to discover content easily and rapidly, deploy new science seamlessly; reach and retain a large community of experimentalists, educators, and researchers; and advance the field of science gateways. Work on nanoHUB will also broadly impact approximately 60 other major scientific communities that utilize the HUBzero technology. |
| Yes | Yes | Develop the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation for sharing complementary facilities, establishing standards and protocols to enable cyberinfrastructure linkages, and training next generation earthquake engineers. | |
| Yes | Yes | Develop Center for Innovation through Visualization and Simulation that provides a 3D visualization and virtual reality theater that uses advanced simulation techniques and high-performance computing for experiential learning and training. | |
| Yes | Develop a “Science Express” program making scientific instrumentation available for loan to K-12 students and teachers; thereby, creating opportunities for teachers and students to learn the theory and practice associated with scientific instrumentation. |
