Data about Institutions

CaRCC Capabilities Model Data

Community generated datasets on the RCD capabilities of higher education institutions. The datasets can support strategic planning and decision-making for campus leadership, funding agencies, RCD leaders, and others interested in advanced technologies that enable research.

Our Community Data Viewer allows users to explore and visualize the community dataset of assessments submitted by other institutions who have used the Capabilities Model. Users can also benchmark their institutional capabilities coverage relative to the community of contributors.

To learn about the model, see the CaRCC Capabilities Model product page.

2021 RCD CM Community Dataset

The report describes the second Research Computing and Data Capabilities Model Community Dataset, aggregating the assessments of 51 Higher Education Institutions, and providing a growing baseline of data to support strategic planning and decision-making for campus leadership, funding agencies, RCD leaders, and others interested in advanced technologies that enable research. Download the report here (zenodo.org/record/6502962).

Check back soon for an early release of the new data exploration tool (currently in development).

2020 RCD CM Community Dataset

The report describes the first Research Computing and Data Capabilities Model Community Dataset, aggregating the assessments of 41 Higher Education Institutions. These assessments were completed using the 1.0 version of the Research Computing and Data Capabilities Model (RCD CM), over a period of several months in the Spring and Summer of 2020. This Community Dataset provides insight into the current state of support for RCD across the community and in a number of key sub-communities. Download it now! (zenodo.org/record/4344057).
