Projects

A project can be thought of as defining a research group or department.

Your account needs to be linked to a project, so that you can access time through the general access job queue. Projects are used for management, reporting, and to provide access to the project file storage.

Students cannot be the leader of a project.

Join a project

Make sure you contact the project leader before requesting to join their project.

Once the project leader has approved your request, you'll be notified by email, and you'll have access to the project directory.
