Requests to use NERSC resources are submitted annually via a web form known as the ERCAP (Energy Research Computing Allocations Process) Request Form. ERCAP is accessed through the NERSC Information Management (NIM) web interface and is available year-round.
If you are new to NERSC and want to apply for an allocation as a new Principal Investigator please read Applying for your First NERSC Allocation.
To access ERCAP, point your browser to nim.nersc.gov, and login to NIM. Then scroll down the NIM main menu (upper left frame) and click the ERCAP requests link.
In general existing projects should be renewed for the next allocation year - you should not start a new request if you have existing repositories. Renewing carries forward most of the responses to the request questions and preserves the project's user list.
