Description

The Alliance Research Software (RS) Strategy for 2025-2030 (the RS Strategy) builds on past RS foundations, leverages the strengths of past RS programs, while at the same time addressing the weaknesses of having a historically disjoint and uncoordinated national strategy for RS.The RS Strategy presents:

- an overview of the current state of the RS landscape nationally and internationally;

- a set of challenges and opportunities in RS service provision for the Alliance as a national funder, service provider and coordinator;

- a vision and goals to support the complete RS lifecycle (developing, deploying, and sustaining) while also developing career paths for the research software experts (RSEs) who create and support it; 

- strategic recommendations that will increase the value of an integrated DRI ecosystem by focusing on high-value aspects of RS and in particular where RS overlaps with Advanced Research Computing (ARC) and Research Data Management (RDM).
