Read our blog post for information on how to get started using the new tool: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://carcc.org/2023/11/02/new-rcd-capabilities-model-assessment-tool-now-available/__;!!GNU8KkXDZlD12Q!-NAsYe0S7O7-M_WPJ5VON9uW35rKc_Vjj1dgJh6HscVxrcBu6VDlKkbzm_ICpBsViFhRMLdSBxBsPdTgm9Lx5nw$ [carcc[.]org] A new online data exploration and benchmarking portal will be launched in early 2024 and we will let you know when that is available. Why participate in the Capabilities Model? The Capabilities Model allows participating institutions to: * Assess their support for computationally- and data-intensive research. * Identify potential areas for improvement. * Understand how the broader community views Research Computing and Data support. Contributing institutions help build the Community Dataset, and enrich the resulting picture we have of our community: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://carcc.org/2022/05/25/2021-rcd-capabilities-model-community-data-report-now-available/__;!!GNU8KkXDZlD12Q!-NAsYe0S7O7-M_WPJ5VON9uW35rKc_Vjj1dgJh6HscVxrcBu6VDlKkbzm_ICpBsViFhRMLdSBxBsPdTgcfyQM9k$ [carcc[.]org] You will get access to the benchmarking functionality on the new portal that compares your assessment to the community at-large, as well as segments of the community (R1s, R2s, Public or Private institutions, etc.; on the new portal you can define your benchmarking peer groups!). As a contributor, you will also get access to more detailed reporting functionality on the new portal, to dig into the data and create custom visualizations. Although summary data will be publicly available, only contributors will have access to the detailed data and custom visualization feature. Please don't hesitate to reach out to [log in to unmask] if you have any questions! Sincerely, RCD Capabilities Model Working Group
