It guides investigators to describe anticipated annual and total costs for accessing cloud computing resources using currently available public provider pricing, and to provide a technical description plus justification for the requested resources. The template also includes an example proposal narrative using vendor-neutral language, clarifying feasibility without implying commitment to any specific cloud platform after funding.","NSF CloudBank Supplement Template\nThis document contains a template for CloudBank supplements to be submitted alongside supported NSF project proposals, and is followed by an example proposal using vendor-neutral language. Your NSF CloudBank Supplement is a document no longer than two pages which outlines:\u000b\u000b(a) anticipated annual and total costs for accessing the desired cloud computing resources, based on pricing currently available from the public cloud computing providers; and\u000b\u000b(b) a technical description of, and justification for, the requested cloud computing resources.\nKeep in mind that what follows is a template, and you should add or remove sections of it as applicable for your specific use case. It is useful in your actual proposal to include as much meaningful detail about your platforms of choice as possible. This does not constitute a commitment, but rather helps the reviewer understand the intention and feasibility of your computing plan.\nTo emphasize this point: if your proposal receives funding, you are under no obligation to use the specific cloud platform described in your supplement. You can switch or use multiple cloud platforms as you deem appropriate.\nProposers should include \"CloudAccess\" (one word without space) at the end of the Overview section as a keyword (before the section on Intellectual Merit) of the Project Summary page if incorporating this request into the proposal.\nCloudBank can be contacted for consulting in preparation of such a document. Please email \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:help@cloudbank.org\" \\h \u0014help@cloudbank.org\u0015 with any questions you may have.\nDELETE THIS PAGE ✂\n\u000f\nProposal Supplement for Cloud Computing with CloudBank\nProposal: [PROPOSAL NAME]\nInvestigator(s): [PI NAME AND INSTITUTION(S)]\nAnticipated cloud platform(s): [Amazon AWS / Google Cloud Platform / Microsoft Azure]\nAnticipated total cloud cost: [TOTAL COST]\nWe propose using [CLOUD PLATFORM] for research computing needs over [AWARD TERM] as described in our proposal “[PROPOSAL TITLE]”.

The initial outputs are correlation products and sharp signal annotation products. We will use Vapor Cloud to develop the processing workflows, perform the analysis and disseminate the results as a science gateway. We will use cloud VMs both in Development (“light”) mode for software development and documentation; and in Analysis (“heavy”) mode for processing, switching between modes to optimize spend.\nCost factors:\nSource d","cbCaioLyhw4DSfL6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioLyhw4DSfL6","docx",293082,4,"English","en",105,"# Proposal Supplement for Cloud Computing with CloudBank\n## Overview requirements and guidance\n## Supplement sections (costs, technical description, justification)\n## Example proposal structure and fields","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the NSF CloudBank supplement template?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a structured, two-page maximum supplement for describing anticipated cloud access costs and justifying the technical need for the requested cloud computing resources alongside an NSF proposal.\"},{\"question\":\"How should investigators present cloud costs in the supplement?\",\"answer\":\"They should outline anticipated annual and total costs based on pricing currently available from public cloud computing providers, including any data accumulation rate estimates where applicable.\"},{\"question\":\"Does funding require using the exact cloud platform named in the supplement?\",\"answer\":\"No. If the proposal is funded, investigators are not obligated to use the specific cloud platform described and may switch or use multiple platforms as appropriate.\"}]","NSF CloudBank Supplement Template -
