Researchers
Research projects at the Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC) are created and managed by Principal Investigators (PIs). PhD-level researchers—which include faculty, research staff, and postdocs (but not PhD students)—are eligible for PI status.
If you believe you’re eligible for PI status but this isn’t reflected in the CARC user portal, please submit a help ticket.
