Obtaining a Google ID

A Google ID is a Google level resource required to create GCP and Terra accounts.

A Google ID is simply an email address that is associated with a Google Account. This can be a non-Google email address that you have associated with a Google Account, or a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) or Google Identity email address.

If you do not have a Google ID and wish to create one, create a Google Account using your institutional email address. An institutional email is required to access NIH controlled-access data; do not use a personal webmail address such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, outlook.com, etc.

Create Your Google Account

To create a Google ID with a non-Google email address select "Use my current email address instead" on the signup form.

See Set up Terra account with non-Google email for additional instructions on how to create a Google account using a non-Google email address.
