The National Science Foundation (NSF) continues to make significant investments in cyberinfrastructure (CI), providing access to high-performance computing clusters, high-throughput infrastructures, and clouds. These resources are available for free to the U.S. research, engineering, and education communities. Through the recent ACCESS program, NSF is also funding services to support a broad community of users and to encourage them to utilize the available capabilities for science. In addition to services such as resource allocations, monitoring, and operation, ACCESS is providing a set of novel support services to make it easier to conduct computations on the national CI resources. ACCESS user support services include 1) modern information delivery systems and simplified user interfaces to provide cost-effective, scalable, support to a broad community of researchers, 2) engagement with experts from the community to develop training materials and instructional resources that can dramatically reduce the learning curve, and 3) the use of a matchmaking service that will maintain a database of specialist mentors and student mentees that can be matched with projects to provide the domain-specific expertise needed to leverage ACCESS resources. The support services are delivered via an ACCESS Support portal that serves as a single front door for researchers to obtain guided support and assistance. As part of the portal, users are also directed to easy-to-use interfaces that enable job submission to a resource or the orchestration of the execution of a workflow (set of dependent jobs) across one or more ACCESS resources.
