Sign-posting is an important part of Ask-JGI. Some queries may be better addressed by other university services, some of which are listed below.
Advanced Computing Research Centre: The Research Software Engineering (RSE) team at the ACRC offer advice and support through their ask-RSE service. They also deliver training courses on python, software best practice and version control (among other things). It is also worth noting that RSEs can be contracted to conduct project work with UoB researchers, provided the funding covers a minimum of 0.5 FTE for 6 months. - High performance computing (HPC) support. Email contact: hpc-help@bristol.ac.uk - Research software engineering (RSE) support. Email contact: ask-rse@bristol.ac.uk - Research Data Storage Facility (RDSF) support. Email contact: rdsf-help@bristol.ac.uk
Research IT: Provide support to UoB researchers in the writing of the technical aspects of bid applications and identifying ways software can realise their research goals. Can provide help with software or programming to support research on a consultancy basis. Research IT can be contracted to consult on projects for shorter durations than the ACRC RSEs (i.e. at a day rate). - Email contact: research-it@bristol.ac.uk
Library Research Support: Support services in research data management, copyright enquiries, literature review. - Email contact: lib-research-support@bristol.ac.uk
JGI Seedcorn Funding: We offer seed corn funding each year to support and promote activities that will foster interdisciplinary research in the area of data science, as well as support funding calls through the Alan Turing Institute.

You can use the following to explain the available services to university staff:
Other resources are available for help with data science related queries at the
Univeristy of Bristol.
- For help with coding or data intensive projects that may need advanced computational
or storage resources the [Advanced Computing Research
Centre](http://www.bris.ac.uk/acrc/contact/) deliver training courses in coding,
high performance computing and data storage. They can also be contracted to help
with longer term projects.
- For help writing the more technical aspects of grant proposals, as well as
ongoing help with short-term projects, [Research IT](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/research-it/about)
are a useful resource.
- For help with research data management, literature search and literacture reviews
using advanced search tools, [Library Research
Support](http://www.bristol.ac.uk/library/research-support/) is also available.
- If you have an idea for an interdisciplinary research project and would like
funding to support a pilot, the JGI is happy to accept applications for seedcorn funding.
If you are not sure which service will be most helpful to you, Ask-JGI can speak
with you about your needs.
