SNIC SENS Medium 2018

Decided

This round has been closed as all proposals have been handled.

This SNIC-SENS round is for medium-scale projects involving sensitive personal data on the Bianca system.

A medium project can request up to 150 TB and 100,000 core-hours/month on average. PI's must be employed at a Swedish institute of higher education at least at the level of assistant professor. If the PI is not affiliated with Uppsala University, it is the PI's responsibility that a Personal data assistant agreement (personuppgiftbiträdesavtal) exists (contact Ann-Charlotte Sonnhammer with questions).

Until the first SENSE Large round is announced, a small number of larger projects may be approved in this round.

For a SENS Medium project, the abstract should include a brief description of the planned work and a clear statement that the work involves sensitive personal data. Requested resources, both GB of storage and compute hours, should be motivated in as much detail as possible. A listing of necessary software is encouraged.

Remember to add both compute (Bianca) and storage (Castor) resources to the "Resources" part of the proposal. Estimate your needs for the coming year.

Detailed instructions on how to apply can be found here.
