Title
SGCI Incubator and its Role in Workforce Development: Lessons Learned from Training, Consultancy, and Building a Community of Community-Builders for Science Gateways
Abstract
Workforce development is an important topic in distributed computing. While traditional curricula in engineering and computer science focus primarily on disciplinary technical expertise, facilitating research cyberinfrastructures requires a diverse set of non-discipline-specific skills including usability, business planning, and community building. Science gateways, digital platforms that facilitate the use of complex research and computing resources, are an increasingly popular form of cyberinfrastructure. The Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) was funded in 2016 by NSF to support the creation, use, and maintenance of effective, efficient, and reliable science gateways. SGCI’s Incubator provides training, short-term consulting, and community-building measures that support workforce development and professionalization of computational solutions. We present some strategies and lessons learned from four years of science gateways engagement relevant to workforce development.
