OSDC-PIRE Fellowship Information session
Dr. Heidi Alvarez recently led an OSDC PIRE information session. Watch it
here.
The Open Science Data Cloud PIRE project provides international research and education
experiences through training and study at universities and research institutes around
the world with leading scientists in the field of computing. Our goal is to increase the
participants with expertise in managing and analyzing data. The creation of a strong cadre
of students with a global perspective on scientific data management will support research
endeavors in many other areas vital to the US.
One of the important goals of this project is to develop a globally distributed cyberinfrastructure
for managing scientific datasets, including distributed datasets. Our strategy is to achieve this
by splitting the development of the OSDC facility and the education and outreach activities between
US and international partner sites. The transformative technology developed by this project is
broadly applicable to any scientific project in which the investigator is struggling to manage and
analyze the data produced.
The Open Science Data Cloud PIRE team has been helping develop large-scale distributed computing
capabilities to provide long-term, persistent storage for scientific data. The team has also been
developing state-of-the-art services for integrating, analyzing, sharing and archiving scientific
data with partners in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the Netherlands, Japan,
and China. This program will provide US Citizen or Permanent Resident graduate students and
early career scientists with international research and education experiences and increase the
virtual international engagement of the U.S. institutions via distributed research collaborations,
courses with transcontinental participation, global web discussions, and focused social networking forums.
Please note, you must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident (green card holder) to participate in the
program. The Open Science Data Cloud is supported in part by a five year grant from the National Science Foundation. Here is a short article about the project that appeared in HPC in the Cloud.
