How to Apply for a Data Allocation at SDSC

SDSC provides data resources for researchers in the sciences, humanities, and arts. The application and approval process for data collections on disk and for database table space is managed by an NSF-sponsored national program using the Partnership Online Proposal System (POPS). User of TeraGrid or SDSC compute resources automatically have access to archival storage and do not need to apply for a data allocation.
