Application process details

Working on TAAURUS requires a two-part application. You must complete Part 1 before submitting Part 2.

Part 1 - Plan your research project

Use this form to describe your project and compute needs.

Along with this or after getting approved, you should:

For writing a Data Management Plan (DMP), we recommend using DeiC DMP, but other DMP tools are also acceptable. At CLAAUDIA, we support the use of DeiC DMP and can guide you in using the system. We also offer consulting and guidance on how to write a DMP.

Timing of approvals: These items do not need to be fully approved to submit Part 1, but they must be approved before you submit Part 2.

After Part 1 is submitted, you can proceed to Part 2 once the items above have been approved.

Part 2 - Create your TAAURUS project

Use this form to request creation of the actual project on TAAURUS. This step can only be completed when Part 1 is submitted and your GDPR/ethics/DMP work has been initiated. The form must be submitted by the project's Principal Investigator (PI).

Questions

If you have questions during the process, contact CLAAUDIA via the AAU Service Portal.

After approval: next steps

Once your project is active, you are ready to start using TAAURUS. To get started, we recommend that you begin by reading the TAAURUS guides.
