Apply for AWS research credits

[ProfJanetDavis]

So that we can use all the AWS time we need without paying by the minute, we should apply for AWS cloud credits for research.

The quarterly deadlines for submitting grant applications are: March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Decisions are typically communicated 2-3 months following the respective quarterly deadline.

Proposal description should address the following topics:

1. Brief description of problem to be solved.
2. Proposed AWS solution (including specific AWS tools, timeline, key milestones).
3. Plan for sharing outcomes (tools, data, and/or resources) created during project.
4. Any potential future use of AWS beyond grant duration by individual research group or broader community.
5. Names of any AWS employees you have been in contact with (this is not a prerequisite for the application).
6. Any AWS Public Data Sets to be used in your research.
7. Keywords to facilitate proposal review.
