Understanding the appropriate ways cyberinfrastructure can be designed, implemented, and executed for scientific use cases requires a deep understanding of the way that researchers and educators interact with technology, and how it may be best implemented to suit their needs. The Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC) has conducted a series of scientific “Deep Dives” of use cases at partner institutions to better understand the requirements for modern scientific innovation across the United States research complex. The results of these activities have revealed gaps in the way that technology has been used to foster research activities. This gap in cyberinfrastructure support has impacts for the overall productivity and innovation possibilities for scientific users.
