All of Us Research Program

Access to the Researcher Workbench and data is free. Computation and storage accrue usage costs through the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). All of Us Research Program provides $300 in free credits for each registered Researcher Workbench user, which will help researchers get started using the Researcher Workbench. 

Once a user’s credits are low, you should receive a message suggesting you set up a long-term billing solution. The Credits and Billing Page will provide additional information regarding initial credits and how to set up a billing account. 

Billing is controlled at the workspace level, so users would have to link the workspace to an associated billing account, either with GCP or a Google billing partner.

Project computation costs can vary, but there are estimations available.

UMBC was granted award money from the All of Us project. Part of the award money has been allocated to pay for UMBC's researchers' computational fees. 

Selected departments have been wired (via Chartstring) a semesterly budget to pay for computational fees. How each department disburses the money and pays for researchers' fees is exclusive to that department.
