NSF Award #2019135, CC* Team: Texas Education and Cybertraining Center (TRECIS)
NSF Award #2019135, CC* Team: Texas Education and Cybertraining Center (TRECIS), aims
to act as a regional hub to train, consult, and support postdoctoral researchers in
cyberinfrastructure, allowing them to increase their computing knowledge in order
to utilize technology and advance their research in new ways. The LEARN network will
provide fast and reliable Internet connectivity capable of handling the large datasets
produced and exchanged as part of the project.
Training postdoctoral students in cyberinfrastructure and hiring them to teach other
students will help raise awareness of IT resources available to researchers and bridge
the gap between IT staff and the campus community utilizing the technology. As an
outreach component of the grant, TRECIS will also make project-trained personnel available
to underrepresented groups including minority institutions such as Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
This grant offers opportunities for collaboration and training. For more information,
