Homewood High Performance Cluster (HHPC)
Goals: Provide resources for large computational and data intensive projects on Homewood Campus – enable faculty to do more by pooling resources
Centralize resources to improve efficiency→ special purpose air conditioned rooms and systems administration
Increase competitiveness for new grants and faculty

Management committee (appointed by Deans): Burns, Dalrymple, Falk, Garcia-Moreno, Haines, Mittal, Robbins
Homewood High Performance Cluster (HHPC)
Partnership between faculty and Deans Faculty: Purchase standardized compute nodes
Pay node fee to cover average rack/power/cable costsAllow Deans to allocate 10% of compute powerMinimum buy-in 8 nodes, < 1 user per node
Deans: Purchase head nodes and infiniband switchSystems administrator who provides basic service - operating system, compilers, queuing software
10% Deans’ share available to Homewood faculty, particularly for temporary spikes in compute needs, initial phase of new computational initiatives, new hires, users “kicking the tires” before buying in

Johns Hopkins Cloud Offerings
Storage Infrastructure
The Johns Hopkins Biostatistics Center (JHBC) offers REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) a secure web-based application that supports data capture and management for research studies. We offer training, support and development services to support your REDCap project from start to finish.
Advantages of using REDCap for your research studies:
SecureEasy to useFastRobustCommitment to qualityFlexibleData entryData export
REDCap is supported by the REDCap Consortium which is comprised of 273 active institutional partners from CTSA, GCRC, RCMI and other institutions. It is currently in production use or development build-status for more than 22,130 studies with over 31,350 end-users spanning numerous research focus areas across the consortium. The REDCap software is primarily developed at Vanderbilt University and is provided free of charge to institutional consortium members. JHU became a consortium member in April 2009 through the efforts of JHBC.

NSF Requirements
Barbara PrallelSayeed ChoudhuryMSEL
[email protected] Site: http://dmp.data.jhu.edu/
Background NSF data management plan requirement is
enforcement of long-standing data sharing policy
In January 2011, the requirement went live – we had our first request for help in December 2010
Through work on NSF-funded Data Conservancy, built unique, initial infrastructure specifically configured for data
Two services:› NSF Data management plan development-July 2011› Implementation of data management plan-October
2011
NSF Data Management Plan (DMP) Development
Generally, a description of data, plans for sharing, retention and access strategy, standards, roles, target repositories, operational and archival data, etc.
Free, personalized consultation on DMP specific to your research and NSF Directorate
Work with you to develop an effective plan, which may be customizable for future proposals
Due to iterative process of DMP development and waves of proposals due on the same day, we ask for three weeks to help you (3 wks is not your total effort)
Even if proposal due date is imminent, we will help you to the best of our abilities
Implementation of Data Management Plan (DMP)
Development of detailed agreement , which builds upon 2-page DMP
Deposition of data into JHU Data Archive for 5 years (potential for extension). Benefits include:› Unique, persistent identifiers for citation,
sharing, interoperability, etc.› Data sharing requests handled by JHU DMS
(consistent with policy or research needs)› Compliance for JHU Data Policy
Post-award implementation of DMP is currently supported through budget line item of 2% of TDC

Choosing the “Right Fit”
What aspect of your collaboration is most important?
Who is your audience? Is this a single event or part of a series? What are your time/budget constraints? How flexible is your location? Do you require technical assistance during the
event or are you tech savvy?
