Safely store my research data

The Research Data Storage service isfor storing and sharingresearch dataduring the active phase of a researchproject.

Before you start

Youwill need your ϲ user ID and password.

The research data storage service follows a project-based approach. You need to provide the following information about your research project:

  • a project title that is likely to be unique to your project. A title such as “neuroscience” will not distinguish your project from others;
  • a brief descriptionof the project (you can use the abstract from your grant application if you have one);
  • a list of administrators you authorise to make decisions about the storage (e.g. adding and removing members);
  • a list of the project members (other than yourself and the optional administrators);
  • start and end dates for your project;
  • the volume ofstorageyou expect toneedin terabytes. This is an upper limit. If you expect to use less than 1TB, enter '1'; and
  • add details of any grants that fund the project.

There is a charge for storage above a free quotaof five TB. Please read theservice support pagefor further details.

You can apply for an account on our Research Data Storage service page.

  • mount your storage on yourcomputer;
  • upload your research data;
  • control access for project members;
  • manage your usage and quota;
  • access research data storage from other platforms.
