Charging Model
Although we offer a degree of support for free via our Application Support Service, a more significant commitment of RSE time must be cost-recovered. We strongly advise you to contact us pre-grant submission for accurate costings and appropriate allocation of RSEs. We will do our best to support requests depending on RSE availability.
