the ChemIT invoice (bill), and who provides oversight on rates and process?
Chemistry Research Computing Facility's (CRCF) Under the direction of the faculty-led Chemistry Computing Committee, ChemIT bills each faculty member each month for a portion of their services.'s group monthly for about 1/4 of ChemIT's total expenses.
Charges in the invoices are The bill is based on an algorithm which provided by the Chemistry Computing Committee is reviewing. We appreciate your patience while we continue to utilize the existing charging algorithm:
| Charge/ FY | Charge ($) FY 2013-2013 | Charge ($) Oct?-June 2015 | Charge ($) When, if ever? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group, per | 50.00 | 55 | 55 |
| Staff member, per | 8.39 | 10 | 10 |
| Group computer, per | 2.98 | 3 | 5 |
Source for the counts for each group:
- Staff members for groups are derived from HR and Grad data.
- Computer counts are based on ChemIT's inventory data, usually confirmed through the CCB IT Rep. for each group.
What is the billing process?
Until there are significant changes (either within units or with the algorithm), we will continue repeating ChemIT repeats each month's billing (, with few or no changes), thus avoiding .
- This avoids the extra work of requiring each group to update their data monthly.
When there are significant changes (account numbers, we will then "true" up for that month-up" months), ChemIT communicates these changes to the affected research groups.
If your group has experienced a significant change you want reflected in the forthcoming monthly invoices, notify the Chair of the Chemistry Computing Committee to vet your request. Thank you.
