If you are a group member, but not a principal investigator (i.e., group leader), do not use these forms directly. You may, however, assist the faculty member who leads your research group to submit the proper form. The rest of this explanation is directed to faculty principal investigators or potential faculty principal investigators.
Use this form if you and your group are totally new to the Institute—with no current account or registered project. If you are registering for user support and/or laboratory resources, but not supercomputing resources, fill out the first half of the form. If you are requesting supercomputing resources, you also need to complete the second half, i.e., provide a proposal.
Once you have a project registered or laboratory accounts for yourself and/or your group or a supercomputing resource grant, you need to renew your registration and/or grant every six months. This involves filling out the first half of this form for user support and/or laboratory resources or the whole form (that is, include a proposal) if you also request supercomputing resources.
Use this form if you already have a Supercomputing Resources grant for the current six-month period (January–June or July–December) but you need to request a supplemental supercomputing resources grant for this period. If it is more convenient, you may send equivalent information (without the form) by email to projects@msi.umn.edu.
Use this form if you have a project registered and/or laboratory accounts for yourself and/or your group or if you have a supercomputing resource grant, and you wish to add another person to your group. You may send equivalent information by email (without the form) to accounts@msi.umn.edu if that is more convenient.
This form can be used for either of two purposes (if it is more convenient, you may send equivalent information (without the form) by email to accounts@msi.umn.edu):
