Rates
Waisman Computing Services (WCS) exist to support the various
missions of the Waisman Center and the faculty, staff and students
that carry them out. These services include helpdesk, e-mail, data storage,
security, internet access and web publishing, computer purchases,
installation, repair and consulting in all areas of information
technology. The costs of these services are recovered according
to the following rate schedule, of which many fees are subsidized.
Effective September 1, 2011 following
changes were made to the subsides:
The first workstation connection
for all Waisman PIs remains fully subsidized.
Additional connections funded from NIH/NSF core grant
projects that are administered at Waisman currently
receive a 45% subsidy. This rate supersedes
the rate in the wcs-rates-20090930.htm document referenced below.
Effective October 1, 2009 the following
changes were made to the rates:
- Highlights include:
- Labor is now included in Workstation Standard Support for
troubleshooting, software installations and computer upgrades.
This makes computing support essentially a fixed cost service.
- A hardware service plan is now included in Workstation Standard
Support and Non-Workstation Support that covers all labor for
repair of networked computers and HP printers.
- The Workstation Standard Support annual fee increases from $645 to
$795 and remains fully subsidized for NICHD core grant programs and
for the first computer on all other programs.
For complete information of the changes along with updated service descriptions
please refer to: wcs-rates-20090930.htm.

NOTES:
-
Requests for large amounts of storage need to be anticipated
in advance to allow for funding and purchase of additional required
storage devices. All requests are subject to current budget
limitations.
-
The Laboratory Connection fee is subsidized if it
attaches equipment in an investigator's lab to the network as
described above. The Laboratory Connection fee for
equipment maintained by another core is not subsidized.
