Abstract

Many smaller and under-resourced institutions, including MSIs, HSIs, HBCUs, and EPSCoR institutions, are engaged in significant science research and education and recognize the value of enhanced access to advanced computing resources. Collaborations, shared resources, and expertise from local, regional, and national levels can substantially support their internal efforts. The Ecosystem for Research Networking (ERN) Broadening the Reach (BTR) working group is actively learning from these institutions on how to better support their needs. The group’s findings and recommendations, derived from community engagement, will be shared, as part of the NSF-sponsored CC*CRIA grant OAC-2018927.
