On May 3-5, 2010 NSF sponsored a workshop at Cornell University on "Sustainable Funding and Business Models for High Performance Computing Centers". They have a site available which includes materials from this workshop, a final report, and a large collection of contributed position papers. This material will be helpful not only for institutions considering high performance computing and cyberinfrastructure funding strategies and models, but perhaps also offer insights for development of sustainability strategies for other kinds of scholarly resources.

The site is at

My thanks to David Lifka at Cornell for the pointer to this site.
