1. Introduction

Are you ready to use cutting-edge cyberinfrastructure (CI) tools to elevate your scientific work? If you are, join CI Pathways (NSF award 2417789) and embark on a transformative journey to empower researchers like you! 

CI Pathways is a cohort-based training program that offers learners a guided approach to using CI to enhance their research. Participants will learn alongside peers and receive expert guidance from seasoned mentors. Participants will have opportunities to build relationships lasting beyond the CI Pathways program. 

The CI Pathways cohorts have already been selected. However, you may still attend all the training sessions and complete most course activities even if you are not in a cohort. 

CI Pathways is led by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), institutions with a track record of facilitating access to advanced cyberinfrastructure for the national research and education community. This program will leverage the two centers' human and computing resources to provide participants at all levels with world-class learning experiences.

CI Pathways is comprised of four 10-week Learning Pathways:

  • CI Awareness
  • Machine Learning & AI
  • Data Science
  • Parallel Computing

Each pathway consists of four hands-on virtual training sessions (one every two weeks) led by PSC and NCSA instructors.
