Research Resources and Support Questions

Focuses on the practical resources and organizational support required to execute research effectively. Candidates should discuss estimating and budgeting compute time and data storage, trade offs between experiment scale and cost, approaches to accessing shared clusters and cloud resources, coordination with platform and operations teams, funding and grant strategies, and staffing models such as research engineers or platform engineers. Also include governance, security and compliance for sensitive data, quota management, and practical tactics to increase experimental throughput while controlling cost.
