10. University of Illinois at Chicago Cyber Infrastructure NSF Computer and Information Science Directorate (CISE) NSF is proposing a “Cyber Infrastructure” initiative – fund a number of Major Research Equipment (MRE) facilities that require a similar distributed storage and networked computing information infrastructure. Large MRE projects are the result of strategic planning by the broad university research community. NSF FY 2001 Budget Request to Congress: $138,540,000. http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/bud/fy2001/mre.htm

NEES will shift the emphasis of earthquake engineering research from current reliance on physical testing to integrated experimentation, computation, theory, databases, and model-based simulation using input data from EarthScope and other sources. NEES will be a collaboratory – an integrated experimental, computational, communications, and curated repository system, developed to support collaboration in earthquake engineering research and education.

University of Illinois at Chicago 10 geographically distributed observatories nationwide to serve as national research platforms for integrated, cutting-edge research in field biology To enable scientists to conduct experiments on ecological systems at all levels of biological organization – from molecular genetics to whole ecosystems, and across scales – from seconds to geological time, and from microns to regions and continents. Observatories will have scalable computation capabilities and will be networked via satellite and landlines – to each other and to specialized facilities, such as supercomputer centers. By creating one virtual installation via a cutting-edge computational network, all members of the field biology research community will be able to access NEON remotely.
