◦ Working with Site IT managers to expand to all project types
Future improvements to SingleShot◦Upload/transfer in the background◦Incremental upload

Curation has been a bottleneckoA significant backlog existsoData curator requires significant time to
curate each projectoDeveloping tools to speed up/improve
curation within the current framework Future: curation-at-the-source (Yr 2/3)
Curation Tools
Power of HUB technologyoRemote simulationoIntegration with data
OpenSEES will be installed on NEEShuboFuture: improved user interface,
documentation, and integrated with database tools
Other tools from community will be available through the NEEShub

NEESR Proposals◦ Effective and widely disseminated “Broader Impacts”
Researchers/Instructors◦ Mentor/train graduate students for research◦ Learn to use site tools and equipment◦ Connect research with education◦ Disseminate educational resources and research◦ Integrate simulations and educational tools with courses◦ Teach graduate and undergraduate course with new
instructional methods◦ Assess student learning
NEES Community EOT Needs
