Fostering Inclusivity in Research Computing and Data: Case Studies, Best Practices, and Scaling Strategies
DescriptionIn the pursuit of advancing research computing and data (RCD) Team Science, it is crucial to embrace inclusivity and broaden engagement across diverse academic institutions. This CASC-shared SC23 Inclusivity session aims to facilitate discussions and knowledge sharing among all participants on how to foster greater involvement among Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges (TCUs) and the CASC higher education institution and high performance computing center members traditionally connected to the RCD enterprise.

This session will bring together case studies from MSIs, HBCUs and TCUs and CASC member partners. These case studies will not only showcase achievements but also delve into the strategies employed to replicate these successes. Attendees will explore best practices for building replicable, sustainable, scalable collaborations without imposing an undue burden the partner institutions involved.

Discussions will center around defining what success looks like in the context of inclusivity and the tangible goals that should be pursued to achieve it. Participants will discuss potential funding opportunities to support these institutional partnerships to enhance research computing infrastructure and support.

While significant strides have been made to integrate inclusivity into research computing, this session will also explore areas where gaps still exist. Attendees will have the opportunity to identify challenges, potential barriers, and strategies for overcoming them. By collectively exploring these issues, the session will work towards a more comprehensive and sustainable approach to broadening engagement in research computing and data sciences.

We welcome participation from all SC23 attendees and all institutions with an interest in the topic.
