DESCRIPTION:Bioinformaticians are increasingly turning to specialised compu
 te infrastructure and efficient\, scalable workflows as their research bec
 omes more data intensive. Australian researchers that require extensive co
 mpute resources to process large datasets can apply for access to national
  high performance computing facilities (e.g. Pawsey and NCI) to power thei
 r research through the National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCM
 AS). NCMAS is a competitive\, merit-based scheme and requires applicants t
 o carefully consider how the compute infrastructure and workflows will be 
 applied. \n\nThis webinar provides life science researchers with insights 
 into what makes a strong NCMAS application\, with a focus on the technical
  assessment\, and how to design and present effective and efficient bioinf
 ormatic workflows for the various national compute facilities. It will be 
 followed by a short Q&amp\;A session.\n\n\n**Who the webinar is for**\n\nT
 his webinar is intended for biologists and bioinformaticians who wish to a
 pply for the NCMAS 2022 allocation. Familiarity with HPC is recommended.\n
 \n\nFor an overview of compute options available to Australian researchers
  and advice on how to match your bioinformatics needs to compute join our 
 other webinar on[ Where to go when your bioinformatics outgrows your compu
 te](https://www.biocommons.org.au/events/compute-resources).\n\n\n**Presen
 ters:** Georgina Samaha and Dr Tracy Chew\, Sydney Informatics Hub\, Unive
 rsity of Sydney\n\n\n**Date/time:** 20 August 2021 - 12:00-13:00 AEST / 11
 :30 - 12:30 ACST / 10:00-11:00 AWST\n\n\n**How to join:** This webinar is
