Next Steps after you register
For Primary Investigator (PI) or Lab Heads
Roughly 2 weeks after your initial PPMS registration, PI/lab heads will receive a link in PPMS where they will be required to review and acknowledge their responsibilities for the RC Core users in their group. At that time we will ask you to provide information about the members of your lab who will use Research Computing services. Once lab heads have registered and have identified the members of their lab group who will use RC Core services, the lab members will receive their own invitations to register for PPMS.
