In order to qualify for Full Membership along with shifts each institution member must sign up for a service commitment equal to half time of a Full Time Equivalent (0.5 FTE). These FTEs can be distributed in any way to the members within an institution. For example a professor and a postdoc together need 1 FTE which could be accredited in full by the postdoc being stationed at Fermilab and committing to one of the on site 1 FTE positions.
