 +==== Funding Policy ====
 +
 +After an 8 year run of the HPCC, and a drying up of grant opportunities at NSF, it was decided to explore self-funding so the HPCC effort could continue without external dependence on funds. A report was made of the HPCC progress including topics such as Publications, Citations, Honors Theses, Growth in Jobs Submitted, Pattern of Pending Jobs, and General Inventory. The report summary can be viewed at this page [[cluster:130| Provost Report ]]. This report was discussed between Provost and HPC Advisory Group.
 +
 +Several months later a pattern emerged.  The Provost would annually contribute $25K if the HPC user base raised $15K annually.  That would amount to $160K in 4 years enough for a hardware refresh or new hardware acquisition.  Finances also contributed $10K for maintenance such as failed disks, network switches, etc, but these funds do not "roll over". Use it or loose it. All funds start July 1st.
