Policy Influence
Join advocacy groups working on policy matters that shape the future of computational research in the United States. Members participate directly in shaping federal investment priorities, drafting coalition responses to agency requests for information, and building the case for sustained public funding of research cyberinfrastructure.

The CI Leadership Academy, mentorship programs, and skill workshops provide concrete pathways for career advancement. Members build lasting peer connections with directors and leaders at the most computationally intensive research institutions in the country, creating a network that accelerates professional growth.
Committee Participation
