Minisymposium Presentation

The National Science Data Fabric (NSDF) pilot project is a transformative initiative to democratize data-driven sciences through a cyberinfrastructure platform that ensures equitable access. By integrating a programmable Content Delivery Network (CDN), NSDF achieves interoperability across various computing environments, enabling seamless computing, storage, and networking integration. This strategy enables the development of community-driven solutions and domain-specific advancements efficiently. A key element of NSDF's approach is its dedication to community education and outreach, especially through collaborations with minority-serving institutions, to ensure widespread access. Our presentation will introduce the shared, modular, and containerized NSDF environment, designed to bridge significant gaps in the national computational infrastructure and tackle the 'missing millions' in American STEM talent. We will highlight NSDF's commitment to fostering an inclusive, diverse workforce and its efforts towards collective success in various fields, including material sciences, astrophysics, and earth sciences. Through testimonials and live demonstrations, we will showcase the impactful services provided by NSDF to support national science and engineering goals and to engage the broader scientific community effectively.
