Circuit Board Created in 2007, the Cyber-ShARE Center brings together experts in computer science, computational mathematics, education, earth science, and environmental science. The team addresses the challenge of providing information to scientists and other users of cyberinfrastructure (CI)* that allows them to make informed decisions about the resources that they retrieve and to have confidence in using results from CI-based applications. The Cyber-ShARE team conducts innovative research to facilitate the development of CI-based applications and increase their use by scientists by enhancing CI results with provenance information, trust recommendations, and uncertainty levels (areas that are recognized as essential for the success of CI); by creating scientist-centered tools and artifacts; and by contributing CI resources to appropriate CI portals.

*Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is the technical infrastructure, organizational practices, and social norms required to collectively provide for the smooth operation of work in which interactions may be distributed across time and geographic location. (Edwards, et al., 2007; Cyberinfrastructure Vision for 21st Century Discovery, March 2007).
