Mission Statement
Novel and Innovative Projects (NIP) accelerates research, scholarship, and education by new communities that can strongly benefit from the use of XSEDE’s ecosystem of advanced digital services. Working closely with the XSEDE outreach team, the NIP team identifies a subset of scientists, scholars and educators from disciplines that have not yet made significant use of advanced computing infrastructure, who are now committed to projects that appear to require XSEDE services and are in a good position to use them efficiently. NIP staff then provides personal mentoring to these projects, helping them to obtain XSEDE allocations and to use them successfully.
