Five of the UK staff actively engaged in UK standards efforts.
The PI of the GridNet₂ project.

Their role will be as follows:

To review applications for GridNet₂ funding, as in GridNet₁. Three anonymous reviews are normally requested. They may advise: fund in full, fund to a specified level or don’t fund. It is sometimes necessary to seek clarifications from applicants. This will be undertaken via the NeSC GridNet₂ administrator. If the reviewers do not reach agreement, a further reviewer from the GNAB₂ may be consulted at the discretion of the PI. The requests for reviews are always sent to institutions not involved in the application.
To advise on policy for the allocation of GridNet₂ funds and strategic standards issues, either via the quarterly GridNet₂ AG meetings or via e-mail with the GridNet₂ PI.
