Northeast Cyberteam: Workforce Development for Research Computing at Small and Mid-sized Institutions

Computing has become an essential component of research and education for nearly every scientific discipline.  Meeting the need for support staff who can help faculty make the best use of available computing resources is a significant challenge for small and mid-sized institutions.  The NSF-sponsored Northeast Cyberteam is addressing this challenge by building a pool of research computing facilitators that can be shared across institutional boundaries while also developing self-service tools that reduce the support burden.
