Credits and Billing Questions

The original creator of the workspace is able to update the billing information for a workspace.

Initial credits are assigned to the researcher using the All of Us Researcher Workbench and apply to all projects and workspaces created by that researcher. You can create as many workspaces as you want as long as you have a credit balance or have a billing account set up.

However, please note that initial credits cannot be combined with credits from other researchers using the Researcher Workbench.

It's difficult to accurately predict how much a research project could cost. You can view estimates collected by our team to help inform an estimated cost for your project.

You cannot set a spending limit on a workspace, but you can set up notifications for your credit usage and remaining balance. You can also set up budget alerts with your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) billing account.

The All of Us Researcher Workbench requires a valid Google Cloud Platform (GCP) billing account to cover costs associated with a workspace. In the absence of a credit card, you can request an invoiced billing account with GCP or use GCP resellers for this purpose.

You can set up multiple billing accounts to fund different workspaces. You also have the ability to switch billing accounts for any workspace. You can learn more about how to set up a billing account on our User Support Hub.
