For 2/9 Meeting: Assignment: Develop elevator pitches (to be used by your leadership and other team members):

ACCESS Support provides cost-effective scaled support to the broad scientific community using national cyberinfrastructure. These democratized efforts comprises three major themes: (1) leverage modern information delivery systems to simplify user interfaces; (2) leverage experts from the community to develop training materials and instructions that can dramatically reduce the user learning curve for several increasingly important CI computational techniques; and (3) employ a matchmaking service that will maintain a database of specialist mentors and student mentees that can be matched with projects to provide the domain-specific expertise needed to leverage ACCESS resources.

ACCESS Allocation Services interfaces with the research community to facilitate requests to utilize advanced cyberinfrastructure provided by the NSF. Allocation Services provides an open, inviting, and democratized allocations marketplace to easily request a range of resources to empower all research communities.

ACCESS Operations supports the integration and operation of ACCESS cyberinfrastructure with operational support, networking and data services, and cybersecurity support. We also support the nation’s resource providers and strive to grow the national cyberinfrastructure ecosystem by integrating new kinds of resources into the community.

The ACCESS Coordination Office fosters an environment of shared governance and horizontal leadership within which program PIs work with a common purpose to create and support an inclusive and vibrant CI ecosystem focused on enabling science.

ACCESS Metrics:   The primary goal of Metrics is to monitor the usage and performance of NSF’s suite of supercomputers.  The primary web-based tool to do this is XDMoD which helps center staff run their resources more efficiently, users run their code more efficiently and allows NSF to make data-based decisions on what new systems need to be built and upgraded to support the national research requirements.
