If you are a HBS faculty, staff, or a doctoral student at HBS, please fill out the HBSGrid Compute Cluster Account Request Form to set up an HBSGrid account.

Please note that users who intend to use compute resources are strongly encouraged to attend an HBSGrid training session.

Guest accounts on the research server are available for HBS faculty members' collaborators for active computing and analytical collaboration. These are granted on a 6-month basis and may be renewed as necessary. Please note that users who intend to use compute resources are strongly encouraged to attend an HBSGrid training session.

It is discouraged to create guest accounts for the sole purpose of accessing data. Instead, other methods of data transfer should be followed.

Guests will also have to fill out the HBSGrid Compute Cluster Account Request Form

Turn-around time for guest accounts is typically 24 to 48 hours, and the guest will be contacted via email from RCS with account and access information.

We encourage guest users to view the screencast below to understand the onboarding process (please note that clickable links do not work at this time).
