	ACCESS Resource Description RP Activity Summary: The resource provider provides ACCESS information needed to describe their type of resource, including: public facing information like descriptive text, user guide URL, and resource status dates; and non-public information like the names and email addresses of RP staff contacts. ACCESS allocated resource providers will generally enter this information into the ACCESS CyberInfrastructure Description Repository (CiDeR) database themselves, with an estimated effort of 2-3/hours to gain CiDeR access and to enter the information, and ~30 minutes semi-annually to maintain the information. Most other resource providers will communicate needed information to ACCESS staff, with an estimated effort of <1 hour, and ACCESS will enter the information into CiDeR for them. ACCESS Verification: Automated: ACCESS will verify that CiDeR information is complete automatically on a daily basis, and communicate discrepancies to to the RP.
