The CI Compass Fellowship Program (CICF), funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), is a key initiative for NSF CI Compass to provide undergraduate students with hands-on experience in cyberinfrastructure and data-intensive research. CICF hosts a 12-week virtual Spring Program where students are taught skills they would utilize in a cyberinfrastructure career at an NSF Major of Mid-scale Facility. Students can then apply for the Summer Program, which places a limited number of students in hands-on cyberinfrastructure projects at collaborating NSF Major Facilities.
During the academic Spring Program, Student Fellows participate in a virtual training program with CI Compass. This Spring Program has two components, 1) a Technical Skills Component and 2) a Data Lifecycle Component.
The technical skills component of the Spring Program provides Student Fellows with experience in technical skills relevant to cyberinfrastructure (i.e., software engineering, cloud computing, data workflows, etc.). Click here for an example syllabus for the Spring Program.
Applications open September 11-October 18.
