2. persistent commitments “stack” effects by-products cost of operation cyberinfrastructure impact

3. a healthy ecosystem more productive work more possibilities more/different science better resource use

4. why coherent CI is hard (beyond the technical reasons)

5. Agency Campus PI Researcher Practice Campus Cost Structure F&A Rate Calculation Total Project Budgets Product per $ Awarded Agency Practice

6. “co-evolving” & “emergent”

7. a new style of planning non-orchestrated centered on the research context sensitive interested in containing cost so more can be done

8. purpose of assessing CI impact cultivation of “eco- system” mentality amplification of benefit mitigation of cost

9. designing impact assessment occasions elements analyst role

10. designing impact assessment occasions One possible occasion: proposal routing

11. scoring rubric

12. overall benefits

13. individual researcher: resource discovery overall benefits

14. research community: better eco-system overall benefits

15. campus: ability to plan and budget overall benefits

16. support staff: better grasp of needs of researchers overall benefits

17. agencies: more product per dollar invested overall benefits

18. known issues potential for more bureaucracy potential research resistance labor intensive

19. key question: will value exceed cost?

20. next steps: building a multi-site “clinical trial”
