10 min | Debrief - ACCESS External Advisory Board Meeting | William Lai, Cornell University Jason Williams, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | Shared recommendations about cross-track collaborations, website integration opportunities to enhance cohesiveness. Better cross-coordination sharing of metrics, support, to make sure that researchers get what they need; how do we expand the community to continue to grow beyond the traditional bounds. Harel: do you as participants, do you have any suggestions as to what it is that we can do or gather to help you the next time you go? Are there such things?
Abhishek: making it easier for users – is there an infographic or concise document of what resources are offered or a starting point to help introduce new people.
Vojtech: comment on XSEDE vs other resource mechanism - allow students to be their own PI and postdocs is an invaluable experience. This could be their gateways to utilizing these allocations. That is not really well known that they could apply.
