Summary

The notion that every institution can independently sustain comprehensive Research Computing and Data (RCD) capabilities—an assumption that guided a generation of institutional investment—no longer holds. Amid accelerating pressures, regional RCD collaboration offers the most practical path for institutions to maintain long-term research competitiveness. This paper presents a framework for the collaborations that will shape the future of research computing.
