*Looking to build a sustainability plan for your gateway? Planning to write
your next funding proposal?*

*Gateway Focus Week helps software and website projects get to the next
level.*

The Science Gateways Community Institute <https://sciencegateways.org/>
offers two Focus Weeks per year. The 2020 sessions are:

   - *June 1-5, Columbia University, New York, NY* (apply by March 27)
   - *Nov. 30-Dec. 4, San Diego Supercomputer Center, La Jolla, CA* (apply
   by Sept. 25)

Gateway Focus Week <https://sciencegateways.org/engage/focus-week> is a
five-day intensive workshop that has been carefully designed to benefit
teams who want to ensure the sustainability of their gateway projects. *Apply
now!* <https://sciencegateways.org/engage/focus-week>

During Focus Week, teams engage in hands-on activities that help them
*articulate
the value of their work to key stakeholders.* Participating teams produce a
strong *development, operations, and sustainability plan* with a
corresponding pitch deck that includes actionable goals. By working closely
across teams, participants have the opportunity to learn from each other’s
experiences and challenges. Focus Week attendees leave with a flexible
toolkit that can be used as their projects continue to mature.

Focus Week is *subsidized by the National Science Foundation. This allows
you to attend what would otherwise be a $2,500 per team event* at *no cost*
other than travel, hotel, and a few meals. Most lunches and dinners are
provided as part of the networking and cohort building activities.

*What's a gateway?* Science gateways
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_gateway>, which are also commonly
referred to as virtual labs, portals, virtual research environments,
citizen science projects, eScience, etc., allow research communities to:


   - Access shared data, software, computing services, instruments, and
   other resources
   - Collaborate with their community around a research topic or discipline
   - Provide training and education materials to a community
