Welcome to the Cyberteam Portal Users Guide!
This portal is part of the Connect.Cyberinfrastructure network (https://cnct.ci/). Students, mentors, and researchers can register to connect with the community, create or join projects.
Join the Portal
There are two ways to join a Cyberteam community.
- You can log in with an affiliated account or create a new account by clicking “Join” in the top-right corner or on the homepage. After joining, you’ll receive an email to verify your account along with a one-time password. Use this to log in, then set a new password.
- You can update your profile and add tags to showcase your skills and interests. Skill tags indicate topics you can help with, while interest tags highlight areas you want to learn more about.
- If you want to change your password in the future go to Edit Profile and Edit Persona
Cyberteam Roles
- Researcher/Educator - The researcher/educator role denotes our Project Leaders, who submit potential projects to the Portal. If approved by the program steering committee, a student and one or more mentors will then be recruited to complete the project. Projects are typically 3 or 6 months in length. If the project requires computational resources, the program can facilitate access to appropriate resources at one of the anchor institutions. If the project leader already has a mentor and/or student who will complete the project, they can contact us with that information.
- Student Facilitator - Student facilitators can apply to projects proposed by one of our project leaders, working closely with a mentor to complete the project. Projects are either 3 or 6 months in length and student facilitators will receive stipends, depending on expertise and the length of the project, unless other compensation has been arranged (such as course credit).
- Mentor - Mentors are volunteers who work closely with a student facilitator and the associated project leader to complete a project. The mentors provide technical expertise, such as programming skills and HPC experience, as well as facilitation expertise to assist the student in handing-off the deliverables to the project leader at the end of the project.
Get Involved
Submit a Project:
After you have logged into your account, you can submit a project on the home page or on the projects page.
Your name
Email,
Project title
Project description
Once it has been “Received” you will get an email to fill out the full details of your project.
In addition to the required fields denoted with red asterisks, if possible please provide a Project Image, Tags, and at least 3 Milestones, with special attention to an "End" milestone. All other fields can be filled in at a later date with help from your anchor institution leader. If you have any questions about how to fill out the project submission form, feel free to contact us.
Update a Submitted Project: When you are logged in, click on "My Profile" in the top right corner of the page. From the dropdown, select "Project Submissions". On that page, click the "Edit" button to edit a submission.
For Student Facilitators and Mentors
Complete Your Profile: After you have logged into your account, fill out your profile with a short description, select relevant tags and upload a cv/resume (cv/resumes are only visible to other Cyberteam members). When completing your profile, try to include information about your skills and skill levels. A completed profile is required to be considered for a project.
Join a Project: To find a project to join, browse to the "Projects" page. Review the "Recruiting" projects and if you see a project you would like to join, click the "I'm Interested" link. One of the steering committee managers will then be in contact to follow up, set up an interview and connect you to a project.
Resources and Asking Questions
There is a plethora of resources available through the Cyberteam Portal. Visit our People, Tags, Projects, and Knowledge Base Resources pages to explore the array of opportunities the Cyberteams have to offer.
Interested in joining the conversation and asking questions to your fellow scientists? The Cyberteam Portal connects to the online discussion forum Ask.CI where knowledge from hundreds of computational scientists from a wide range of institutions on a broad range of research disciplines is aggregated. All participants in the Cyberteam are encouraged to contribute to the Learning Resources and Ask.CI. Learning Resources on the Cyberteam Portal and Ask.CI are tagged based on subject matter using a common tagging infrastructure to make it easy to find information at a very granular level.
