 * You need to specify the total resource request for your project in node hours, and how you would like to split the resources over the 4 quarters. For the allocations per quarter year, please enter the number in percent (e.g. 10%, 30%, 30%, 30%). If you indicate nothing, a 25% per quarter will be assumed.
 * We currently have a total of 65 TB of storage for all projects. Additional storage
