Eligibility

Only Full Time Lehigh faculty are eligible to be a PI on an allocation. Other users such as research staff including postdocs, graduate, and undergraduate students need to be associated with a Lehigh Faculty allocation. A user can be a member of multiple allocations, either the same faculty or different.

...

Requirements: Faculty requesting a StartUp Allocation should provide a short abstract (min 500 words, 1 page max) with the description of the work they wish to accomplish and the amount of computing time requested.

Info
titleTips

Members of the allocation committee may not be experts in your field of research. Please focus on the computational aspects rather than technical aspects of the work you wish to accomplish. This will allow the committee to understand your computational needs. Technical details should be written for an audience with broad expertise in computation-based research, but little to no expertise in your specific field of study.  Only include sufficient technical details to aid the allocation committee in understanding how the allocation requested meets your computational needs.


Request Window: StartUp Allocations can be requested any time during the year and will be approved within 3-4 weeks of submission (completed).
