UF Research Computing has a number of different training programs for users to utilize in order to make the most efficient use of their resources. From training how to use the system to in-depth consultation hours to target specific programs and algorithms that users may need for their work, a service is available to handle the needs of our customers.
| Service | Description | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| HiPerGator training | Training sessions are offered on a regular basis with topics ranging from general access to HiPerGator to specific topics in biology, chemistry, engineering, etc. | No cost |
| Restricted data training | Research Computing offers courses that meet the extended training requirement of restricted data research. Multiple courses may need to be completed depending on the data restriction. | No cost |
| Software consulting | Research Computing staff provide consulting service to a research team to enhance software, provide training, or meet other software needs. The consulting fee covers RC staff time spent on the consulting service, but not the HiPerGator resource allocation. The Principle Investigator needs to purchase the allocation that is needed for the consulting project or service. | $65/hour |
| Restricted data consulting | Analysis and configuration of project workflows and applications for the restricted data environments, ResShield and HiPerGator-RV | $65/hour |
Certain external organizations may be eligible to purchase resources from UF Research Computing. Pricing for these purchases is separate from the subsidized rates paid by UF faculty members and research collaborators, and are delineated as follows:
- Discounted external rates are applicable to purchases by UF-supported startup companies, such as those associated with UF Innovate.
- Full external rates are applicable to purchases by a limited number of organizations that meet certain qualifications for purchasing through UFIT Research Computing.
External rates are determined by calculating the total cost recovery for providing the products and services, including amortization of equipment and infrastructure.
