IDSC joins NSF-funded CaRCC Consortium

The National Science Foundation has awarded a consortium of 28 collaborating institutions, led by Clemson University, a $750,000 grant to fund a Research Coordination Network to set up a national forum for the exchange and dissemination of best practices, expertise, and technologies to enable the advancement of campus-based research computing activities. The project, entitled “RCN: Advancing Research and Education Through a National Network of Campus Research Computing Infrastructures – The CaRCC Consortium,” is designed to bring together a wide range of campuses and community stakeholders to form a novel, yet complementary, element of an evolving and expanding national cyberinfrastructure ecosystem.

Distinguished Speaker: Arden Bement, Monday 11/3/2014

The dramatic and terrifying events that occurred during the first decade of the 21st Century drew in the scientific and engineering resources of the nation in many ways. For example, NIST responded by conducting an exhaustive study of the World Trade Center building collapses and produced standards for biometric identification, mail irradiations to detoxify anthrax, nuclear material detectors at U.S. borders, and protective measures against cyber attacks. NSF responded by supporting research interrupted by Hurricane Katrina and modeling the several violent natural disasters that occurred during the decade.
