Summary
Contemporary research and education are driven by data-intensive science, AI, and advanced instrumentation that depend on robust cyberinfrastructure. While these tools enable rapid discovery, limited network capacity or connectivity is a bottleneck—especially for small institutions—restricting their ability to fully participate in modern scientific inquiry and educate the nation’s workforce. This project immediately transforms research and education capacity at three small institutions—Allegheny College, Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, and West Chester University—by address
