Computer

We have several computers the students can use, including butterfly.isi.edu and juve.isi.edu.

The computer should have the latest CentOS, with a recent Condor and the latest Pegasus release.

Install iptables and open port 22, install fail2ban, and disable passwords via ssh.

Make sure the computer is mounting the ISI NFS home directories properly, and configure it to use the ISI NIS and ISI NTP servers.

Give the student sudo privileges on the machine.

Laptop

Loaner or a new laptop

Email

Create a CIS ticket to add the student to the ccg@isi.edu mailing list.

NSF RCR

NSF has a new requirement that all students (undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral) must have had training in Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR) before being supported (i.e., paid) by NSF.

An online RCR certification system has been set up for this purpose. It is found here:

http://research.usc.edu/policies/rcr/

Please note the following requirements as they apply to all VSoE students:

...

Wired Access for Student's Laptop

Register student's wired NIC address with CIS from https://action.isi.edu/services/ip_address

NSF RCR

NSF has a new requirement that all students (undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral) must have had training in Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR) before being supported (i.e., paid) by NSF.

An online RCR certification system has been set up for this purpose. It is found here:

http://research.usc.edu/policies/rcr/

Please note the following requirements as they apply to all VSoE students:

• all currently NSF-supported students (undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral) must complete the on-line course this spring, as per the Provost's memo;
• all new incoming PhD students and postdocs must complete the on-line course before being set up on payroll;
• all undergraduates being put on an NSF support must complete the on-line course before being set up on payroll;
• PIs who have or hope to have NSF funding are urged to have all their PhD students and postdocs complete the on-line course in any case, to avoid possible future delays in student payroll if students/postdocs are moved from one grant to another.
