Virtual Workshop on NSF Cyberinfrastructure Funding
The Minority Serving – Cyberinfrastructure Consortium (MS-CC) is excited to collaborate with the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) and The Quilt on a two-part virtual workshop series.
The workshop series discusses National Science Foundation (NSF) Cyberinfrastructure (CI) funding Programs targeted for representatives of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), and under-resourced minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and their cyberinfrastructure collaborators.
The goals of this workshop series are to train constituents at HBCUs, TCUs, and under-resourced MSIs, as well as their collaborators, on relevant NSF CI funding programs, approaches to developing campus CI goals and strategies, important first steps and tools for grant proposal development, and identifying potential CI collaborators.
