Eligibility here is explained based on services available on the Nectar Cloud.
Dashboard
When you log into the Dashboard for the first time, this will create a project trial for you to try out Nectar with a small amount of resources. Anyone with an AAF login (University/Institutional login) can access the Dashboard and a project trial, which automatically begins when someone logs in for the first time.
To access a larger amount of resources and more features, you will need to apply for a project allocation. This can be done via our allocation form on the Nectar Dashboard.
If you fulfil at least one of these criteria, you will be eligible for a national project allocation (which means you can launch resources in any of our zones):
- Your research is currently funded through a national or international research grant.
- Your research is funded by, or supports, a National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) capability, including the ARDC (for example an ARDC Research Data Commons project).
- You have a grant from a federal or state government department or agency for research projects that supports industry, or university research that is directly or jointly funded by industry.
- You have been approved by the Nectar Allocation Committee as warranting a nationally prioritised allocation.
If you are apart of or collaborating with a University which is a local node of Nectar, you may be eligible for a local allocation.
Managed Services
If you do not fulfil the criteria, there are managed services with limited resources available to use, for anyone with an AAF (University/Institutional) login. These include:
