The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide leadership and direction for research programs aimed at enhancing health, lengthening life, and reducing illness and disability. Data is an important ingredient for—and a product of—these projects. Historically, each program has managed the data it produces independently. Among the NIH institutes, a program called the Common Fund sponsors a portfolio of ambitious initiatives, each of which generates biomedical data of high value to the research community.
During the month of July Globus transferred over 800 Terabytes of data on Comet, a dedicated NSF funded eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) cluster at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). While Comet is now officially retired, users will still have access to the Comet filesystems via Globus to facilitate data migration.
The GlobusWorld Tour provides an interactive forum for learning about and experimenting with the Globus service. In this comprehensive workshop we provide a summary review of Globus features targeted at those new to Globus, and demonstrate core features from the perspective of a researcher. For system administrators, we review the process for installing and configuring Globus endpoints on various storage systems. And for developers, we introduce Globus platform services and demonstrate how you may leverage them in your own applications and automated data flows.

Whether you are new to Globus or an experienced user, we would like to engage with you at SC21. Let us introduce you to all the benefits of the Globus service and update you on some of the new developments.
Over the past few years Globus Labs has participated in two student summer lab programs at the University of Chicago - the Center for Data and Computing (CDAC) Summer Lab Program, and the BigDataX Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program, which is funded by the NSF. This year the two programs include 65 students, and five of the students are working with Globus Labs.

Your NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) award will support acquisition and operation of critical instrumentation to facilitate advances in fundamental research—but the volume of data the instrument generates will also create challenges for systems administrators and investigators alike. Join us to learn how Globus can help alleviate these data management challenges by automating data flows and facilitating data access for researchers and their collaborators.

CHICAGO, July 7, 2021 – The Australian national research and education network AARNet, a non-profit provider of network, cyber security, data and collaboration services, has signed an agreement with Globus, a department within the University of Chicago, to add Globus as a research data management service. The Globus service, combined with AARNet’s high bandwidth connections, will enable researchers to securely and reliably, transfer and share data - and to rapidly move data between instruments, storage and computing facilities throughout the research data lifecycle.
Have some questions about Globus? Then join us for a Globus Office Hours session. Sessions occur monthly on every fourth Wednesday starting on January 26th.
