• To offset a portion of the investment that Sinai has made, we are requesting that researchers include funding in their grants for Scientific Computing.
• Please refer to the attached fee schedule which needs to be included in grants that plan to use Minerva or Scientific Computing’s resources.
• You will only be charged for the specific number of resources that you use. If you require dedicated nodes or storage, we will also integrate new nodes dedicated to your research into our infrastructure.
• Please contact Patricia Kovatch for a letter of support or any dedicated computing resources. We greatly appreciate your assistance to make this endeavor sustainable.
