(Washington, D.C.) According to a release in Washington D.C. yesterday from Senator John Fetterman’s office, last week, Senators Fetterman (D-PA) and Ted Budd (R-NC) introduced the National Programmable Cloud Laboratories Network Act to create a national network of six remotely accessible programmable cloud laboratories (PCLs) for academic research, led by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This bill would assist in researchers using their time and financial resources more effectively through automation and integration of large data sets by knitting together existing laboratory data processing power.
