Since 2016, the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) has brought together software developers to improve access to essential resources and services with a “community center” approach. By offering development assistance, usability engagements, sustainability training and more, SGCI has helped more than 150 science gateways reach their goals.
Through a combination of cyberinfrastructure (CI) components, “science gateways” generally make it easier for researchers and educators to connect to computing resources, share data, facilitate scientific collaboration, publish content and engage with large audiences. To broaden impact in these ways, the team behind the SGCI has proposed a new effort that has earned the support of and gained special recognition as a Center of Excellence (CoE) from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Officially titled CI CoE: SGX3, a Center of Excellence to Extend Access, Expand the Community and Exemplify Good Practices for CI through Science Gateways (SGX3 for short), the new endeavor has been awarded $7.5 million by the NSF and took effect Sept. 1, 2022.
