FundScience and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center(PSC) have agreed to work together on the common goal of broadening research resources available to scientists and the public. PSC provides university, government, and industrial researchers with access to high-performance computing (HPC), communications and data-handling technologies. As a result of the partnership with PSC, applicants eligible for the grants funded and facilitated by FundScience will have an option to qualify for access to PSC’s HPC resources. PSC will also provide computing resources for FundScience .
The FundScience grant application, which will be soon posted on the FundScience website, will include information required to receive a PSC starter grant. The donation is subject to the applicant qualifying for a FundScience grant and subject to final approval by PSC. FundScience is working on establishing similar partnerships with organizations across the country in order to service a broader population.
