Cloud Resources Program

Cloud computing assumes a pivotal role in biomedical research, offering a range of critical benefits. It provides the flexibility of scalable computing power and storage, access to extensive biomedical datasets, cutting-edge software and hardware resources, and user-friendly data sharing capabilities. Particularly noteworthy is its ability to level the playing field for institutions with limited on-premises computing facilities. Many NIH researchers stand to gain significantly from cloud computing technology, as it addresses their evolving computational needs. Additionally, many NIH research projects can experience transformative enhancements by harnessing the innovative capabilities of the cloud.

To take the advantage of the opportunities, the NIH Office of Data Science Strategy launched this program to support NIH researchers in leveraging cloud resources in their research activities.
