The resource provider supplies information describing 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 provide needed information to ACCESS staff, with an estimated effort of <1 hour, and ACCESS staff will maintain the information into CiDeR for them.
","verification_summary":"ACCESS will verify that CiDeR information is complete automatically on a daily basis, and communicate discrepancies to to the RP.

Providers can apply for allocations before or after completing the Science Gateway Description tasks. Once an allocation is approved, they can exchange allocation credits for specific resources such as computing time, data storage, or virtual machines. The process involves multiple steps, including request submission, approval, and resource allocation, which may take several days to weeks depending on the size and complexity of the request.

They provide access to tools used in cutting-edge research such as, telescopes, seismic shake tables, supercomputers, sky surveys, undersea sensors, and more.
These gateways often connect diverse resources and make them easily accessible, lowering the barriers traditionally required to access these resources.
This roadmap enables the science gateway to integrate with the necessary ACCESS cyber-infrastructure components which may include, high performance computing (HPC) allocations, storage allocations, cloud-based resources, and identity and access management (IAM).
