If Sue were to get a RAC award with storage (as is often the case these days), both she and Bob would find that there is a new entry in their respective projects directory, something like
~/projects/rrg-sue-ab
They should use this directory to store and share data related to the research carried out under the RAC award.
For sharing data with someone who doesn't have a role sponsored by Sue--- let's say Heather--- the simplest thing to do is to change the file permissions so that Heather can read a particular directory or file. See Sharing data for more details. The best idea is usually to use ACLs to let Heather read a directory. Note that these filesystem permissions can be changed for almost any directory or file, not just those in your project space --- you could share a directory in your scratch too, or just a particular subdirectory of projects, if you have several (a default one, one for a RAC, etc.). Best practice is to restrict file sharing to /project and /scratch.)
