The renegotiation process can only be performed once per resource.

Basic information

Proper grants are subject to renegotiation - their resources (accepted by the user after submitting the offer) may be increased or decreased at the justified request of the User.

In order for the application to be approved, it is necessary to:

fulfillment of the condition of homogeneity of the research project under the grant in the form requested - i.e. increasing the resources can only take place if they will be used for further research described in the grant application (and not for new research for which no information is provided in the application),
consent of the Resource Administrator to change the parameters of the grant as part of renegotiation - the granting of consent may depend on the scale of the requested change.

Possible changes to metrics

As part of the renegotiation, it is possible to change the value of the metrics awarded under the grant.

For example, you can change the number of compute hours allocated to a grant, the number of simultaneously used slots, or the amount of disk space used at the site where the grant exists.

For the current grant, you cannot:

extend its duration
cancel an existing grant

Cancellation of an existing grant

It is not possible to cancel an agreed grant. Each agreed grant appropriate will have to be accounted for.

However, if for some reason the User is sure that he will not use the assigned resources, it is recommended to inform the Helpdesk about it - thanks to this, the Administrators will be able to allocate the unused resources to other users.

How to renegotiate a grant

Only the team manager may renegotiate resources for a grant.

To renegotiate a grant, go to the Proper Grants panel, and then in the Active Grants table with an active grant, select the gear button Renegotiate the grant.
