• Enhance onboarding clarity ("You have an allocation – what happens next?").

• Deliver personalized resource recommendations (e.g., "User Like Me").

• Provide tailored monthly usage and efficiency reports.

• Modernize support tools (ARA, SDS, chatbot) for intuitive guidance.

Success Indicators: Higher survey satisfaction scores, reduced time-to-science, increased user engagement with tools.

• Simplify RP integration processes and documentation.

• Strengthen cybersecurity policies and RP onboarding/offboarding instructions.

• Expand RP coordination workshops and STEP program contributions.

• Provide RP-facing analytics and workload models.

Success Indicators: Improved RP survey scores, faster onboarding/offboarding times, expanded RP participation.

• Develop program-wide transition and closeout plans.

• Capture lessons learned across awards.

• Update and align documentation, policies, and operational practices.

• Package training materials and artifacts for long-term reuse.

Success Indicators: Completion of transition plan, consolidated documentation repository, NSF-ready lessons learned compendium.

• Showcase publications, citations, and altmetrics.

• Elevate ACCESS-enabled science stories through newsletters and outreach.

• Expand impact dashboards and reporting pipelines.

• Highlight ROI metrics via Value Analytics.

Success Indicators: Increased visibility of ACCESS outputs, broader dissemination of science impact stories, stronger NSF recognition.

• All teams converge on four consistent priorities: user experience, RP value, transition readiness, and scientific impact.

• PY5 is the consolidation year: strengthening foundations, ensuring continuity, and maximizing demonstrated value.

• Responsible AI use and tool modernization are embedded within documentation and transition planning, not standalone priorities.

Program Year 5 is the final year of ACCESS under current awards. The collective focus is not on new initiatives but on:

• Making ACCESS simpler, smarter, and more personalized for users.

• Strengthening RP integration and operational alignment.

• Preparing responsibly for program transition and sustainability.

• Demonstrating ACCESS’s scientific impact clearly to NSF and the broader community.

This unified framework positions ACCESS to close out with strong outcomes, clear deliverables, and a smooth handoff to successor programs.
