3 NEEShub Usage: 8/2010 – 4/2013 3 Red dots: researchers and students browsing NEEShub, watching videos, and taking courses while performing 840,656 web and 38,854 tool sessions. Yellow dots: users running simulations. Dot size corresponds to the number of users at a location.

4 Intellectual Merit  A network with 14 state-of-the-art shared-use access laboratories and cyberinfrastructure linking the laboratories amongst themselves and with a continuously growing community of users  An innovative and transformative outside-the-university collaboration model powered by improved data sharing capabilities and tool co-location on the NEEShub

5 Broad Educational Impacts  Receiving materials from NEESR researchers  Coordinating extensive development of MYOE  Extending functionality of NEESacademy  Add international component to REU program  Howard University and George Washington University Ambassadors

6 NEES Research Experiences for Undergrads (REU) Program changes lives Sandra Gutierrez Civil Engineering Undergraduate University of Texas, El Paso REU Summer: UC San Diego
