Allocations

Applying for Allocations

Grant extension

  • NAIRR: Requests to extend the allocation duration must be submitted through the NAIRR ticketing system. Extensions may be approved based on resource availability and the scope of the project. (Link to answer: https://nairrpilot.org/help/faq)

  • ACCESS: Extensions can be requested through the portal if your project is within 90 days of the end date. Navigate to your project management page and click “Request an Extension,” providing the new end date and justification​. (Link to answer: https://allocations.access-ci.org/how-to)

Managing Grants (CS-2)

  • How to check your grant allocation id?

    • You can use the projects or groups command to find your allocation id (GRANT_ID) from inside Neocortex (or Bridges-2).

      $ projects

      $ groups

      Please keep your GRANT_ID handy as you would need it for accessing your project folder.

  • Changing your Neocortex allocation group?

    • If you are part of multiple grants, then make sure your charge GROUPID is correctly set. For consulting your default charge GROUPID, use the projects command. To temporarily change your charge GROUPID for the current login session, please run the following command:

      newgrp GROUPID

      The effects of this command take place immediately.

    • In order to make the Neocortex grant your default charge GROUPID, please run the following commands:

      • To see all your groups:

        change_primary_group -l

      • To change your default group:

        change_primary_group GROUPID

      It may take up to an hour for the default charge group change to propagate. The change will last across login sessions.
