Globus is a non-profit service, based at the University of Chicago, that provides secure and reliable research data management.  The NSF's DKIST project uses Globus for identifying you and transporting your data.

In order to log into the DKIST Proposal Architect (PA) tool or the DKIST Data Center (DC) Portal, you must have a Globus account/identity.  To create an account, please follow the instructions below.  There are some sample screen images added throughout this page to aid in clarity.  The instructions are PA-centric, but also work for setting up a Globus account for the DC Portal.

Instructions
