CASC provides valuable access to funding agencies, helping us understand their needs while offering a platform to network across organizations, ensuring we have a voice in policy and funding discussions.

Rich Knepper, Cornell University

CASC meetings are thoughtfully organized and highly engaging. The connections that CASC maintains with leaders from NSF, DOE, and NIH provide us insights into those organization's future directions. Taking advantage of the opportunities CASC enables is invaluable, and would be challenging to pursue independently.

Jason C. Christopher, University of California, Berkeley

‘‘

CASC's national advocacy has been invaluable. We've utilized the position papers and issue notes as key resources to advocate for and evaluate the impact of research computing services on research productivity on our campus.

Harrison Simrall, University of Louisville

I joined because it was where the key players were. The value came from the meeting agenda and the opportunity to meet with policymakers and federal agencies. After the CASC meeting, we were able to highlight the importance of this new activity to administrators, leading to policy changes.

Himanshu Sharma, University of Illinois Chicago

CASC serves as a think tank that influences federal sponsors, particularly on critical issues. With the rise of automation and AI potentially displacing a significant portion of the workforce, it's crucial for research institutions to collectively address these challenges.
