UNCG, N.C. A&T Awarded $500K
from NSF To Build High Speed Network
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (July 2, 2019)
– UNC Greensboro (UNCG) and North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University (N.C. A&T) have been awarded a
two-year National Science Foundation (NSF) grant of |
 |
UNC Greensboro is dead last in sponsored research
among Doctoral
Granting Institutions in the UNC System in the years 2018 thru 2014. |
| $499,912 to build a high-speed research data
network that will both connect the two largest universities
in the Triad with each other and enable faster, easier
sharing of research with scientists around the world.
The Gate City Research Network (GCRN)
is one of only 11 NSF Campus Cyber
Infrastructure awards in the state
of North Carolina and is the first
award in the state for the category
of Network Infrastructure.
Approximately $358,000 of the award
will be managed directly by UNCG,
while approximately $142,000 will be
managed by NC A&T as a “sub-award.”

The
GCRN will create a
multi-institutional network
supporting research activities
through a clean, low-latency,
high-speed internet connection. This
will give researchers access to
dedicated, high performance
computing resources while helping to
eliminate issues posed by using
existing networks that also carry
administrative, entertainment (i.e.
movie streaming, gaming), and other
non-scientific data. The GCRN will
enable fast transfers of the
enormous amount of data that fuels
innovative research. This will
significantly increase the
fundamental research capacity in
disciplines such as chemistry, nano-engineering,
nano-, computer-, and data science.
“This award represents a significant
step in our shared journey to help
advance the capabilities and
reputation of our universities and
our region as world-class leaders in
research,” said UNCG Chancellor
Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. “A state of
the art network will help fuel
innovation, spark economic growth in
our region, and enable us to deliver
meaningful scientific breakthroughs.
It will also further deepen the
existing partnership between UNCG
and N.C. A&T, helping to connect our
outstanding scientists with
collaborators around the world.”
|
Added N.C. A&T Chancellor Harold L.
Martin Sr., “This is an exciting
opportunity for researchers at N.C.
A&T, UNCG and their collaborators
from around the globe. My
expectation is that this new data
network will assist our researchers
in strengthening existing
partnerships and creating new
partnerships that will produce
innovative solutions to some of the
world’s persistent challenges.”
UNCG’s Jeff Whitworth, associate
vice chancellor and chief
infrastructure architect, served as
the Principal Investigator (PI) for
this grant, with co-principal
Investigators Shyam Aravamudhan,
associate professor, N.C. A&T; Geoff
Starnes, associate vice chancellor
of information technology and deputy
chief information officer, N.C. A&T;
and Daniel Todd, director, Triad

UNCG had not expressed intentions to establish
the degrees, they had not been approved by the faculty

A degree program is a program of study
in a discipline specialty that leads to a degree in that
distinct specialty area at a particular level of
instruction. As a general rule, in order to be
considered for degree program status, a course of study
should require at least 27 semester hours in the
proposed program area at the undergraduate level; at
least half the number of hours required for the degree
at the master’s level; and at least 21 hours in the
proposed program area at the doctoral level. [Adopted

Doctor of Philosophy in Nanoscience
The PhD in Nanoscience requires a minimum of 60 hours
and is designed to prepare students to take positions in
industrial, governmental, or academic research settings
by providing a solid background in Nanoscience theory
and experimental techniques through course work and
dissertation research. |

When all of the occupations
which will be affected by nanotechnology will require a
BS in engineering with a broad, interdisciplinary and
multi-disciplinary approach; will require an
understanding not only of electrical, mechanical and
civil engineering, but biology, physics and chemistry as
well.
Why is across-town
Liberal Art UNC Greensboro with programs in music and
nursing, requiring relevant courses be taken at the
School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University
and will be able to work on collaborative projects with
faculty in the School of Engineering”, except for
unvarnished racism offering Nanotechnology degrees? |
