Five Questions for Today1. What services do you provide now? 2. Future Vision: Where do you want your campus to be in 5
years? 3. What does your research community want you to do?4. What is holding you back from reaching this vision?5. What are the right kind of things to do collaboratively with
other campuses, regional/national service providers? And what should be done locally?

#DH@Berkeley
• Project Bamboo 2008-12: Building context & connections
• Active projects:– Building Digital Humanities at Berkeley ($2M Mellon grant,
with Dean of Arts and Humanities, + VCRO support)– DiRT: Digital Research Tools directory (Mellon funded)– Prosopography Services (NEH funded, w/Near Eastern Studies)
• Additional work:– Free Speech Movement archives hackathon– Hack the Hearst (together with museum informatics)
Investing in DH
• Modest investment yields considerable reward
• Value of broad reach on campus– Together, Research Computing, Data Management,
and DH cover broad scope of campus departments– Surprising commonality and mobility across services– Important for support of big projects (like BRC)
• Consulting connects services/people– Domain specialty, but full-scope familiarity– Strong ties to partners, community

Tools and Services: Grow Current
• Berkeley Research Computing: Full rollout of all BRC compute services: HPC – HTC – MPC; Cloud; Virtual Workstation; BRC Consulting. Ensure strong connection of BRC to faculty recruitment, retention, and grant submission.
• Research Data Management: Grow program so that all researchers have consulting and core data management services.
• Digital Humanities: Sustain model program after Mellon grant ends in 3 years. Ensure the humanities receive research IT support.
• CollectionSpace: Expand to other UC campuses! Look for LAM (Library, Archive, Museum) integrations both as a service and as partnerships.

Tools and Services - New
Respond to key new external and campus initiatives. Current examples:Science DMZ / Pacific Research Platform for networked data research applicationsChancellor’s Undergraduate Data Science Education Initiative: by 201X all Berkeley undergraduates will have access to new data science courses and labs
Future: Faculty Engagement
Faculty / Researcher Engagement and Consulting: Grow and refine researcher engagement model. This will include substantial investment in consulting staff who can wear two hats: research domain knowledge and IT knowledge. And staff who sit in two or more places: e.g., ORU and Research IT. Make sure that every ladder rank faculty member knows RIT and what we and the campus research IT community can provide. Build an integrated consulting model with multiple campus groups. Measure stakeholder perceptions and continuously improve.
Campus and Other Partnerships
Continue to grow strong partnerships with such campus units as Educational Technology Services (ETS), Library, central IT, Social Science D-Lab, Arts and Humanities, Computer Sciences, and others.
Leadership from Vice Chancellor for Research and VCRO. Bottom-up, faculty driven initiatives.
Take advantage and adapt campus infrastructure and collaborative services (e.g., Box).
Partner with other UCs national initiatives such as NERSC, ESnet, XSEDE, Internet2, Amazon, etc. that pay off.
…
Staff Development Staff Development, Recruitment: Increase our investment
in professional development so that RIT and other IT staff have excellent collaborative and technical skills.
Learn and borrow from others, e.g., NSF ACI REF program.
Hire staff out of domains and train for tools (in some cases).
Alternative academic career paths
Take advantage many campus courses workshops and
Take this PD seriously!
Finances and Fund Raising
Thanks all.Thanks all.
