Training-based Workforce Development for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure: The overarching goals of this program are to (i) prepare, nurture, and grow the national scientific research workforce forcreating,utilizing,andsupportingadvanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) that enables potentially transformative fundamental science and engineering research and contributes to the Nation's overall economic competiveness and security; (ii) ensurebroad adoptionof CI tools, methods, and resources by the fundamental science and engineering research community to enable new modes of discovery; and (iii) integrate core literacy and discipline-appropriate advanced skills in advanced CI as well as computational and data science and engineering into the Nation&rsquo;s educationalcurriculum/instructional material fabricspanning undergraduate and graduate courses. For the purpose of this solicitation, advanced CI is broadly defined as the set of resources, tools, and services for advanced computation, data handling, networking, and security that collectively enable potentially transformative fundamental research. This solicitation calls for developing innovative, scalable training and educationprograms to address the emerging needs and unresolved bottlenecks in scientific and engineering research workforce development, from the postsecondary level to active researchers. The resultant training and education programs, spanning targeted, multidisciplinary communities, will lead to transformative changes in the state of workforce preparedness for advanced CI-enabled research in the short and long terms. <a id="_anchor_1" name="_msoanchor_1" href="#_msocom_1"></a> As part of this investment, this solicitation seeks to broaden CI access and adoption by (i) increasing or deepening accessibility of methods and resources of advanced CI and of computational and data science and engineering by a wide range of scientificdisciplinesand institutionswith lower levels of CI adoption to date; and (ii) harnessing the capabilities of larger segments of diverse underrepresented groups. Proposals from, and in partnership with, the aforementioned communities are especially encouraged. Prospective principal investigators (PIs)arestronglyencouragedto engage all relevant stakeholders, to the extent possible within the budget, by forging alliances and forming backbones forcollective impact;this is particularly necessary in order to inform forward-looking curriculum/instructional material development for the Nation&rsquo;s science and engineering workforce. At a minimum, each project shall have a board of expert advisors or a network of funded/unfunded collaborators representative of stakeholder communities to periodically scrutinize and help refine the curriculum/instructional material and project methods, and to inform professional associations and non-governmental organizations responsible for curriculum, accreditation, and professional examination. The<a id="_anchor_2" name="_msoanchor_2" href="#_msocom_2"></a> CyberTraining program is led by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) in the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) and has participation from several directorates and divisions as described in Section II &ndash; Program Description, Programmatic Areas of Interest. Not all directorates/divisions are participating at the same level and some have specific research and education priorities. The appropriate contact for the CyberTraining program in any directorate/divisionis theCognizantProgram Officer (PO) for therespective directorate/division/office/programlisted. All projects must advance CI training and education goals for CI-enabled fundamental research as described in the full text of this solicitation, in addition to addressing specific domain needs. Prospective PIs arestrongly encouragedto contact the Cognizant Program Officers in CISE/OACandin the participating directorate/division(s) relevant to the proposal to ascertain whether the focus and budget of the proposed activities are appropriate for this solicitation. Such consultations should be completed at least one month in advance of the submission deadline.PIs should include the names of the Cognizant Program Officers consulted in their Project Summaries as described in Section V.A &ndash; Proposal Preparation Instructions. The intent of the CyberTraining program is to stimulate co-funding between OAC and one or more domain directorates/divisions. (For this purpose, divisions of CISE other than OAC are considered &ldquo;domain divisions.&rdquo;) To ensure relevance to community needs and to facilitate adoption, those proposals of interest to one or moredomain divisionsmustinclude at least one PI/co-PI with expertise relevant to the targeted research discipline. All proposals shall include at least one PI/co-PI with expertise relevant to OAC. Prospective PIs contemplating submissions that primarily target communities relevant to those directorates/divisions that are not participating in this solicitation are directed to instead explore the education and workforce development programs of the respective directorates/divisions.
