Annual Reports for 2005
Project Descriptions Detailed annual reports of each project on the NCI NF are supplied by the Principal Investigators of the projects. The table of all MAS and PARTNERS projects grants and usage can be accessed from the link on the left, and links from this table lead to the individual reports which have been submitted. Please note that many projects with low usage will not have a report.
Project Divisions There are several 'divisions' of projects - those awarded under the national Merit Allocation Scheme (MAS) , those awarded by APAC Partners who control a share of the resources, and finally those awarded by APAC as Grid projects or as Mass Data Intensive projects.
Grant/Usage by Subject Area The Australian Bureau of Statistics Research Fields, Courses and Disciplines Classification (RFCD) codes nominated for each project are used to calculate a breakdown by subject areas of usage of the NCI NF. These subject area breakdowns and also the tables of individual project's usage are accessible from links in the tables below.

Usage on the Compute Systems


Notes:
No. PIs The number of Principal Investigators. (Each project has a nominated Principal Investigator.)
No. Users The number of researchers associated with the projects who have a login on the machine.
No. Associates The total number of researchers associated with the projects, whether they be PIs, users, or other collaborators.
