Short introduction to the work that the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) and the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) have done together around SGCI Focus weeks.

1. SGCI+ ESIP = Community

5. Earth Science Information Partners
150+ Partner Orgs
1000 Active Participants
30+ Working Groups
Supported by:
https://esipfed.org/
ESIP is a community steward for Earth science data professionals and provides a
collaborative platform for advancing the usefulness and impact of data necessary
to address pressing global environmental challenges and fuel new discoveries.

ESIP does not:
• Provide data
• Sustain
cyberinfrastructure
• Compete with our
members
• Develop standards
ESIP does:
Generate influential recommendations and work products
Have a lasting impact in the recommendation of standards.

11. Value Proposition for DMT Content Contributor
The Data Management Training Clearinghouse …..........
WILL HELP Academic & Government Agency (Research) Science Data Management
Educators ........
TO facilitate the process of finding, using and sharing specialized,
community- developed educational content on research data
management........
BY curating content in the science gateway for data management

12. ESIP has value
12
Attending SGCI Focus week with a community member, I
realized that ESIP backbone had been leveraged for free
and that we needed to start articulating our value.

13. Working on ESIP
instead of in ESIP
ESIP as a nontraditional Gateway for Focus Week

14. Everyone needs
these skills
