STRIDES Initiative: Starting and Using the Cloud
Preparing a Project for the Cloud
Understanding the big picture behind your data is essential because it creates context and enables you to make an informed decision about how to move your data to the cloud (e.g., what are the data, who created it, what it is used for, etc.).
Additionally, preparing your data by removing any anomalies, de-identifying protected information, and profiling your data prior to the upload process are often cost-effective and time-saving practices.
Identify Key Metrics and Prepare Your Data
Being prepared with some key metrics about your data will help ensure a streamlined process for uploading data to your chosen STRIDES Initiative partner’s cloud platform. The NIH STRIDES Initiative team can help you answer these questions and determine the best STRIDES Initiative partner to use by matching your needs with the available options.
