Many smaller, mid-sized and under-resourced campuses, including MSIs, HSIs, HBCUs and EPSCoR institutions, have compelling science research and education activities along with an awareness of the benefits associated with better access to cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources. These schools can benefit greatly from resources and expertise to augment their in-house efforts. The Eastern Regional Network’s (ERN) Broadening the Reach (BTR) working group is addressing this by focusing on learning directly from the under-resourced academic institutions in the region on how best to support them for research collaboration and advanced computing requirements. ERN BTR findings and recommendations will be shared based on engagement with the community, including workshop and survey results, as part of the NSF sponsored CC*CRIA: The Eastern Regional Network Award OAC-2018927.
