This document is an introduction to developing a Cyberinfrastructure Plan (CI Plan), usually in support of an NSF grant proposal. We describe the purpose of CI Plans, some approaches and examples, and present an annotated template for gathering the content elements you will need. We hope this will demystify the process and make you confident that this need not be a daunting task, and can be an easily-achievable first step in a strategic planning journey.
