Research CyberInfrastructure?Resources:
1. Material –
a. Computer equipment
b. Software
2. Human – core competencies in 1
3. Social – networked core competencies in 1 - 3
How much do we have of each resource and what are their distributions and costs?
How much will we need in 5-10 years, and with what distributions and at what costs?
Research CyberInfrastructure?
To first order, no one has a clue.
Perhaps we should have a clue?
A role for the Information Technology Committee?

Research CyberInfrastructure
Possible Strategy: Tackle resources in order, since each will help inform those that follow:
1. Material – computer equipment
a. Computer Equipment
b. Software
2. Human – core competencies in 1
3. Social – networked core competencies in 1 - 3
What follows are some statistics on computer equipment derived from the campus Inventory
Question: What is the total initial value of all computer equipment currently in the Campus Inventory, and what is the distribution by fund accounts used for acquisition?
Warning: Data includes all categories of use, not just for research

Patterns in ‘nature’
You are walking along a beach. Ahead you see 8 medium size stones in essentially a straight line spanning several yards. Would you be surprised?
When do patterns evoke a sense of curiosity about possible causes?
Research CyberInfrastructure
Assume you have a complex technology with many ‘layers’,
1 through N. Assume layer i has 2i
people, with the end users
Assume that each layer has about the same amount of financial
investment in equipment
Assume you know the amount of equipment per person at each level
at level N
Then what is the distribution of equipment value versus people?

Why?!
One possible reason is that the federal grant size versus number
of grants has a similar power law distribution.
But:
1. That begs the question of why the federal grant size has
that distribution.
2. Federal grants account for only 27% of the
computer equipment.

Non-federal $53,698,727
This is Inventory over time, therefore it represents a
rolling ‘steady state.’
In steady state, every dollar investment in computer equipment
used in research and purchased with non-federal funds
generates, to first order, the equivalent amount of 150 funds.

Non-federal $53,698,727
Therefore either
1) the campus only uses about 10% of its non-federally
funded computer purchases to support research; or
2) the campus is not re-investing its Indirect Cost
Reimbursement in a way commensurate with its
research computing investments from other sources.

are not included in the indirect calculation with the Feds, because it is not
designated as a research unit!

And recall, computer equipment is just half of the material
resources, and does not touch human or social resources.
It seems that someone should wake up each morning with
Research Cyberinfrastructure as her/his primary mission.
It also is my opinion that that person should report to the
Vice Chancellor for Research, in order to best protect
research interests.
