Despite the fact that advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources are now essential for all research and education domains, there is a large disparity in CI resources and engagement between large, research-focused (R1) universities and under-resourced 2- or 4- year institutions. The Building Research Innovations in Community Colleges (BRICCs) community was established to foster communication and collaboration between CI administrators and providers, researchers, and educational professionals across all levels to address inequities in CI accessibility and research. To that end, BRICCs held its second annual workshop in August 2022 with the goal of identifying common hurdles, limitations, and bottlenecks faced by under-resourced institutions and establishing a set of guidelines and recommendations to ameliorate them. This report contains the findings of the 2022 BRICCs workshop and will serve as a valuable resource for CI administrators, educators, and academic researchers.
