Globus Foundations for Research Data Management
- Greg Nawrocki
- Online
We will introduce Globus as a platform for research data management, emphasizing its role in moving, managing, and preserving research data across diverse storage and compute environments. Participants will learn how Globus fits into the research data lifecycle—from acquisition and analysis to archiving and sharing—and how it supports reliability, integrity, and scalability at the institutional level.
We will walk through core Globus services (file transfer, sharing, remote computation, research automation) and show how they can be leveraged to support FAIR data practices and the data management and sharing requirements of federal research funding agencies, including the NIH. Participants will log into Globus, browse collections, and perform common data management tasks.
By the end of the session, attendees will understand the basic concepts and terminology of Globus and be prepared to explore more advanced topics in subsequent sessions.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will be able to:
- Explain the role of Globus in research data management workflows.
- Identify key Globus concepts: endpoints, collections, identities, and connectors.
- Log into Globus, find collections, and perform basic file transfers.
