The Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support (ACCESS) is a powerful collection of integrated digital resources and services – things like supercomputers, visualization and storage systems, collections of data, software, networks, and expert support – that scientists, engineers, social scientists and humanities experts around the country use to advance understanding of our world and to make our lives healthier, safer and better. ACCESS integrates these resources and services and makes them easier for more people to use. The five-year, $52 million project is supported by the National Science Foundation and led, in part, by NCSA.
