Our Team
Our Team
The ACCESS Allocations team helps researchers request and manage projects on national cyberinfrastructure resources in pursuit of their research, education, and development efforts.
Our allocations support staff assist community members with obtaining the resources they require to carry out their respective endeavors. We also work closely with Resource Providers to ensure they have the proper information to review and support requests for their resources, instruments or services. In order to review requests for substantial amounts of computing, storage, and related resources, the Allocations team maintains a merit review panel from members of the science and engineering community.
Our DevOps team builds and maintains our web infrastructure; databases for user identities and resource accounting; and most importantly the eXtensible Resource Allocation Service (XRAS) software suite used within ACCESS and several national labs. We are also developing a set of Innovative Pilots to offer transformative ways for researchers to utilize ACCESS ecosystem resources.
Our team is committed to continuously improving upon our products and services. If you have recommendations for how we can improve, or how we can further democratize access to our nation’s cyberinfrastructure resources, contact us through our feedback form.
