Nero
Nero is Stanford's private research cloud compute environment for high-risk data. Learn more about Stanford Medicine's Nero computing environment here.
STARR Data Delivery gives you the option of delivering data directly to a BigQuery dataset on Nero. OMOP and large datasets must be delivered to Nero.
The list of Nero projects associated with your SUNetID appear on the "Nero Projects" page in the app. If this list is empty, or you wish to add a new project to the list, please refer to SRCC's Nero signup process.
Once you have a Nero project, you can reference it when creating a new extract request. First specify Nero rather than Download as the delivery mode, then select the project you will be using, specify the dataset for the data delivery, and whether to overwrite or fail if the dataset already exists.
The extract files will be delivered to the named dataset on the selected project, unless the dataset already exists and you've asked that the delivery fail in this case.
The system will email you at your specified email address when the process is complete.
