of institutions across the great plains region. “It was just a whole bunch of institutions saying, let’s buy
a bunch of networks together because it’s easier on us,” Co-principal investigator (PI) and Cyber Infrastructure
Program Committee lead Dan Andresen explained, “which is still what GPN is today, but we’ve moved into more facilitating
research and connectivity at a social and scientific level as well.”</p>

<p>The social networking part of this project came later, starting with GPN, but then later developed into the CyberTeam.

“Building trust and familiarity is crucial,” Andresen advised. “Get involved with the OSG and get to know people; having Derek
[Weitzel] available as the interface has been invaluable. Knowing the context and the people is much easier than starting from scratch.”</p>
