And please feel free to forward this note to anyone who might be interested and appropriate. --- DETAILS: WORKSHOP TOPIC LISTS ARE BELOW! There's NO PREREQUISITE for EITHER of these workshops! (Participation in any previous Virtual Residency workshop is ***NOT*** REQUIRED.) (1) For the Research Computing Facilitation workshop: Does your institution have lots of researchers and educators who want to use advanced computing, but need some help learning how? You or someone at your institution can learn to be more effective at helping researchers and educators use research computing! This is a great way to start, get better at, a career in helping researchers use research computing. It's also a great way to meet a community of fellow research computing facilitators. (2) For the Becoming an Institution Research Computing Leader workshop: Are you ready to move up as a Research Computing professional? Have you been considering how to get to the next level? Join us to learn key skills for institutional research computing leadership! --- The Virtual Residency Program has already served 1700+ people from 500+ institutions in all 50 US states and 4 US territories plus 19 other countries on 6 continents, including: * 63 Minority Serving Institutions (13% of VRP institutions, 21% of 4+ year MSIs, 13% of all MSIs); * 129 non-PhD-granting institutions, including 4 community colleges and 3 high schools (26% of VRP institutions); * 129 institutions in all 28 EPSCoR jurisdictions (26% of VRP institutions); * 288 of 362 Campus Champion institutions (59% of VRP institutions, 80% of Campus Champion institutions). And, 78% of VRP institutions have had participants who collectively have participated in VRP activities multiple times, and 67% of VRP institutions have had participants who collectively have participated in multiple types of VRP activities. Clarifying, since this question has come up in the past: You *DON'T* have to participated in ANY past Virtual Residency event (including this year's workshop planning calls), NOR in Campus Champions NOR Campus Research Computing Consortium (CaRCC) efforts, in order to participate in the 2025 Virtual Residency workshop -- though of course everyone in those groups are encouraged to participate! --- WORKSHOP TOPIC LISTS (tentative, subject to change) (1) Virtual Residency summer 2025 workshop on Research Computing Facilitation June 23-27 live via Zoom: * Virtual Residency Introductory/Intermediate Workshop 2025 Overview * INCTORDUCTORY: Effective Communication: How to Talk to Researchers About Their Research * INTRODUCTORY: Cyberinfrastructure User Support * INTRODUCTORY: The Cyberinfrastructure Landscape * INTERMEDIATE: Facilitating Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning/Deep Learning * INTRODUCTORY: How to Do an Intake Interview / Intake Interview Demonstrations * INTERMEDIATE: How to Learn and How to Teach Research Computing Resources * INTERMEDIATE: Research Networking Overview * INTERMEDIATE: Reducing Barriers to Entry for New Users * INTRODUCTORY: How to Do an Intake Interview / Intake Interviews with Real Researchers * INTRODUCTORY: CyberAmbassadors: Let's Talk: Communicating That There's a Problem * INTERMEDIATE: Research Data Management * INTERMEDIATE: Explaining Complex Technical Topics to Researchers * INTERMEDIATE: Beyond the Intake Interview: Building Lasting Collaborations with Researchers * INTERMEDIATE: Facilitating Cloud Computing and Explaining Cloud Pros & Cons * INTERMEDIATE: Assessing and Anticipating Researcher Needs * INTERMEDIATE: Emerging Technologies * Stories from the Trenches --- (2) Virtual Residency summer 2025 workshop on Becoming an Institutional Research Computing Leader Aug 6-7 live via Zoom: * Introduction to the Becoming an Institutional Research Computing Leader Workshop 2025 * The CI Funding Landscape * Strategic Thinking & Visioning * Recruiting and Retaining Computing/Data-Intensive Researchers * Deciding Which Technologies to Adopt, and When * Leading Teams of CI Professionals * Low Cost Solutions for Hardware ================================================================== If you know of others who might appreciate these announcements, please have them contact hneeman at ou.edu.
