Community Science and Data-Intensive Astronomy Support at the US National Optical Astronomy Observatory

Abstract
Research opportunity in modern astronomy is defined by both access to observing facilities and access to data. We describe the NOAO Community Science and Data Center’s integrated approach to both modes of access. We recommend that the Decadal Survey endorse a strong program of data services as a critical function of a modern National Observatory.
