Since 1992 the National Resource Allocations Committee (NRAC) and Large Resource Allocations Committee (LRAC) have awarded the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group annual time allocations at NSF-funded supercomputer centers. These allocations have proven to be critical to our research and development success, as demonstrated by recent highlights, papers, and news stories on our accomplishments.
