YCRC staff work with the researcher to fill out the web form https://www.4points.com/nih-strides-initiative/nih-strides-extramural-research-program-account-provisioning/. The information below is needed to complete the form:

AWS account # if you have an existing account to transfer
The researcher also must provide a Purchase Order to which Four Points will bill AWS usage monthly.
How do we communicate with 4Points to know if the application is accepted?
AWS Account Creation
YCRC staff and the ITS Cloud Support team meet with the researcher to understand the researcher’s AWS use case and requirements. The Cloud Support team creates an AWS account in Four Points' AWS Organization for Yale. Then we turn this over to YCRC? We don’t have a turnover meeting with the researcher?
Billing
Four Points sends a monthly invoice to be paid against the PO that the researcher specified.
