Description

The Resources for Research Groups (RRG) Competition was created to enable individual faculty members, and their sponsored research groups, to access compute and storage resources beyond what can be obtained via the Rapid Access Service [4].

In response to feedback received from the research community and in an attempt to improve the application process, we have made some important changes to our resource allocation process, which includes a new competition schedule and the creation of several streams in each competition. Please read this year’s guide carefully, and visit the Compute Canada website to learn more about these important changes.

The RRG competition is open to projects from all disciplines and allocations are awarded based on scientific merit, quality of the research team, and development of highly-qualified personnel (HQP). This competition is peer-reviewed and the allocations are available for one (1) year starting in early April 2017. While all users have access to our team of Compute Canada technical experts, we do not allocate dedicated support (ie. programmers, developers) as a part of this resource competition.
