!!! info "Research Project Allocations, Accounting and Reporting" The Research Support and Accounting Departments of the University keep track of the list of research projects funded within the University. Starting 2021, a new procedure has been put in place to provide a detailed reporting of the HPC usage for such projects. As part of this process, the following actions are taken by the ULHPC team:

1. a dedicated [project account](../slurm/accounts.md) `<name>` (normally the acronym of the project) is created for accounting purpose at the Slurm level (L3 account - see [Account Hierarchy](../slurm/accounts.md));
2. a dedicated project directory with the same name (`<name>`) is created, allowing to share data within a group of project researchers, under `$PROJECTHOME/<name>`, _i.e._, `/work/projects/<name>`

You are then **entitled to submit jobs associated to the project using `-A <name>`** such that the HPC usage is reported accurately.
The ULHPC team will provide to the project PI (Principal Investigator) and the [Research Support](https://wwwen.uni.lu/university/about_the_university/organisation_charts/organisation_chart_rectorate_central_administration/research_support_department) department a regular report detailing the corresponding HPC usage.
In all cases, job [billing](../jobs/billing.md) under the conditions defined in the [Job Accounting and Billing](../jobs/billing.md) section may apply.

New project directory

You can request a new project directory under ServiceNow (HPC → Storage & projects → Request for a new project).
