Cyberinfrastructure Revolution • “… the cyberinfrastructure layer… for the empowerment of specific communities of researchers to innovate and eventually revolutionize what they do, how they do it, and who participates.” • “must also… exploit the new opportunities that cyberinfrastructure brings for … people who, because of physical capabilities, location, or history, have been excluded from the frontiers of scientific and engineering research and education.” www.nsf.gov/od/oci/reports/toc.jsp Office of CyberInfrastructure

Call to Action Vision • “NSF will play a leadership role in the development and support of a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure essential to 21st century advances in science and engineering research and education.” Mission • “Promote a CI that serves as an agent for broadening participation and strengthening the Nation’s workforce in all areas of science and engineering” Goals and Strategies • Support the development of the computing professionals, interdisciplinary teams and new organizational structures, such as virtual communities, ..., paying particular attention to the opportunities to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups” Office of CyberInfrastructure
