Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers a powerful and flexible suite of cloud computing services that can significantly accelerate and enhance research across various disciplines. From managing vast data sets to running complex simulations and developing cutting-edge AI models, GCP provides the infrastructure and tools needed for modern scientific discovery.
Research faculty and staff can request access to the tool by submitting an access request form. Once a completed form is received, an intake meeting is scheduled to gather project information. After a successful consultation, a user will be granted a Wayne State Google account, including access to Google Cloud and Google Cloud Skills Boost. At that time, mandatory and optional training will be assigned, and pricing options will be provided.
Once all mandatory training has been completed, go to Google Cloud Lab and submit a form indicating the type of project needed. Step-by-step instructions are available in the FAQ below. Once this form is submitted, the project is automatically created and available in the Google Cloud console.
