Strategy & Policy-Facing Track, Feb 2023

First Wednesday of every month
12pm ET/ 11am CT/ 10am MT/ 9am PT/ 7am HT

Topic: Exploring factors that impact RCD strategy

Presenters:

• • Claire Mizumoto (Director, Research IT Services , UCSD)
  • Jim Wilgenbusch (Director of Research Computing, UMN)
  • Jackie Milhans (Director, Research Computing and Data , Northwestern Univ.)
  • Melissa Cragin (AVP for Research Computing, Rice University)

Description:
What programmatic and institutional characteristics affect how you make strategic decisions for your RCD program? We’ll hear from four RCD programs and then open a discussion on what’s similar and what’s not, and what the key factors seem to be. Is your program fully funded, are you self-supporting, or somewhere in-between? Do you have soft funding or core funding or a mix of both? Are you a centrally organized group or part of a partnership of service providers? How do your answers help determine what your programmatic priorities are and how you approach strategy?

We expect this conversation to be the first in a series of meetings where we can look at factors important for growth and development of your program at your institution.
