In collaboration with Pitt Information Technology and Amazon Web Services (AWS), Pitt’s Center for Research Computing (CRC) offers up to $5,000 in seed funding and consultative services to Pitt faculty, as well as postdocs and graduate students with approval from their supervisor.
Cloud computing offers great benefits for researchers – virtually unlimited resources, no queues, cutting-edge applications, no hardware to buy or manage and the freedom to compute from any device, anywhere.
But researchers wanting to use cloud computing typically run up against barriers of funding, training and support. This joint effort aims to to remove those barriers and help ease Pitt researchers seamlessly into the cloud ecosystem.
