SCINet Scientific Computing Initiative
Request SCINet AWS
SCINet provides AWS at no cost to SCINet users with suitable workloads. A limited amount of funding is available annually. Interested SCINet users must submit a SCINet AWS Project Request to be considered for AWS funding.
To Add/Modify AWS Resources for an Existing SCINet Project
Send an email that includes:
- the name of the project directory (/project/<projectname>/) and
- the requested changes
to the SCINet Virtual Research Support Core scinet_vrsc@USDA.GOV.
This includes requests for additional funding.
To Request a New SCINet-funded AWS Project
Fill out an application form (eAuthentication required, non-ARS users should contact their sponsor)
Requests will be reviewed and projects funded based on criteria such as suitability for AWS versus other SCINet computing resources (e.g., Ceres), resource requirements estimated from the project description, and availability of SCINet funding.
