Email, Office Hours, and 1-1 Meetings

There are multiple ways to get help from OSG’s Research Computing Facilitators. Get in touch anytime!

To help researchers effectively utilize large-scale computing, our Research Computing Facilitators (RCFs) are here to answer questions and provide guidance and support. If we're not able to help with a specific problem, we will do our best to connect you with another group or service that can.

Help via Email

We provide ongoing support via email to [email protected]. You can typically expect a first response within a few business hours.
