NCSA has had a long history of successful collaborations with research teams through projects such as the NSF-funded Delta and ACCESS, as well as the University of Illinois-funded Research Software Collaborative Service. We offer the opportunity to provide expertise at a level appropriate to the scope of your proposed work, without the need to hire full-time personnel to address these concerns.
You can write NCSA staff into a proposal to get support beyond what we can offer through our funded projects such as ACCESS. In this case, we would serve as a collaborator on your proposal, be included as funded personnel on your budget team and help with proposal preparation.
