What are the fees for data storage and/or computing on the HSRDC server?
A5. Data storage and computing fees are estimated on a per project basis. A formal cost estimate can be prepared for investigators writing grant applications. HSRDC fees include financial support for IT personnel, software licenses, hardware maintenance and depreciation, disk space, CPU time, and data uploading. Minimum annual costs are approximately $3,000 per project, with additional annual costs in proportion to the number of high-intensity users and the quantity of data used. Requests for formal cost estimates (e.g., in preparation for a grant submission) should be sent to Gina Pugliano.
