2 UC San Diego Why invest in RCI Current fiscal situation RCI Core Elements Next steps/Challenges UC San Diego

UC San Diego Fiscal > $1 billion in funding New Vice Chancellor – July 2010 Rework Compliance & Ethics processes Rework COEUS system (Contracts & Grants) Budget constraints-Require Collaboration, Cooperation, & Communication & 3

Why We Are Investing in RCI Key Considerations: 1. Enhancing faculty’s research competitiveness and grant-generating activities 2. Complying with increasing Federal data stewardship obligations 3. Generating institutional cost savings (energy conservation & cost abatement) 4. Rapid growth of data and computation-intensive research demands 5. Trend toward automated, instrument-based data collection & analysis from remote locations 6. Medical Centers, libraries, ORUs, MRUs and Centers have an increasing need for collection and storage of digital data 7. Allow faculty, post-docs and students to devote more time to their research 8. Sharing computing power on a time-distributed basis will allow more efficient use of computing capacity

Cost Estimates

7 Next Steps Encourage/facilitate use of RCI Redirect energy savings to support Co-Location Campus support ($) for a storage/curation pilot Develop std. language for proposals for RCI fees Move forward with network enhancements Review all future CI investments to capture synergies for UCSD RCI Completed & On going Completed In process On going In process

Our Biggest Challenges Demonstrate positive impact of RCI investments to administration Increased ICR Cost savings Demonstrate value & promote adoption of RCI to researchers Unmet needs (e.g., data management) Colo and condo Smooth transition to user fees 8

9 How do you show value/justify your RCI? Have your researchers adopted resources provided similar to the ones presented? If not, why not? How are campuses handling the power consumption funding issue? Other questions? ? ’s for you
