SUMMARY:CyberTraining:  Pilot – A Professional Development and Certificati
 on Program for Cyberinfrastructure Facilitators
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nCyberTraining:  Pilot – A Professional Development
  and Certification Program for Cyberinfrastructure Facilitators\n\nNeeman,
  Brunson, Colbry\n\nThis CyberTraining pilot project is initiating the Cer
 tified Cyberinfrastructure Facilitator Training and Development (CCIFTD) p
 rogram, a first-of-its-kind, non-matriculated certification of professiona
 l development for Cyberinfrastructure Facilitators. The Cyberinfrastructur
 e (CI) workforce suffers from a critical deficit of CI Facilitators, who w
 ork directly with researchers to advance the computing-intensive/data-inte
 nsive aspects of their research. CCIFTD's purpose is to attest to proficie
 ncy in core skills needed for facilitating computing/data-intensive resear
 ch, across all Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) dis
 ciplines. The focus is on crucial professional/interpersonal skills, and c
 omplementary research computing technical topics. CCIFTD will establish bo
 th (A) the set of skills and (B) a means for determining whether a CI Faci
 litator has these skills and thus merits certification. This project promo
 tes the progress of science by accelerating STEM research, in particular b
 y training and certifying a national cohort of research computing professi
 onals who work directly with STEM researchers to advance the computing/dat
 a-intensive aspects of their research. Such research is becoming increasin
 gly important across all STEM disciplines, while at the same time large sc
 ale and advanced computing is becoming more challenging to learn. Financia
 l efficiency is achieved via a "train the trainers" approach: every Facili
 tator trained by CCIFTD is anticipated to work with dozens or hundreds of 
 researchers over their career.\n\nTag: Education and Training and Outreach
