The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency. The NIH is the world’s largest source of medical research funding and the driving force behind decades of advances that have expanded fundamental scientific knowledge and improved health. NIH’s mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability.

Now all levels of users can easily access and rapidly transfer large data sets and run analyses.”

–UCSD

Globus sharing gives me an easy way to share data with facilities, not only within CWRU, but also with researchers across the U.S. and even the world. Without Globus, I would not have been able to do this.”

–Case Western Reserve University

Globus provides us with the ability to transfer multiple data streams simultaneously, and as a result we were able to reduce the time it took for the data to be accessible from days down to hours.”
