Information about ChemIT's monthly bills to faculty.
What is this bill, and who provides oversight?
Under the direction of the faculty-led Chemistry Computing Committee, ChemIT bills each faculty member's group monthly for about 1/4 of ChemIT's total expenses.
Charges in the invoices are based on an algorithm provided by the Chemistry Computing Committee:
| Charge/ FY | Charge ($) FY 2013-2013 | Charge ($) FY 2014-2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Group, per | 50.00 | 55 |
| Staff member, per | 8.39 | 10 |
| Group computer, per | 2.98 | 5 |
What is the billing process?
ChemIT repeats each month's billing, with no changes.
- This avoids the extra work of requiring each group to update their data monthly.
When there are significant changes (account numbers, "true-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.
