The Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC, https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov) was founded in 2000 as a multi-agency strategic investment into the national space weather program. The main goals identified in the CCMC concept of operations are: to facilitate space weather research and model development; and to support the transition of latest advances in research to space weather operations. On-going CCMC activities are linked to action items in the Implementation Plan for National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan. The CCMC’s Runs-on-Request service, continuous real-time runs, performance logs, Integrated Space Weather Analysis (ISWA) system, Database of Notifications, Knowledge, Information (DONKI), Scoreboard software for community-wide pre-event ensemble predictions, and other tools and interactive displays serve as a showroom to demonstrate the operational potential of models, applications, and forecasting techniques. The CCMC serves as a centralized portal for research product candidates entering the Research-to-Operations (R2O) transition pipeline, The presentation will discuss opportunities and approaches to community modeling based on capabilities currently utilized in operations as well as development of next generation operational capabilities.
