Information Technology

The Institute’s state-of-the art research technology and computing resources support the social science, clinical and translational research and instructional needs of investigators. The computing office offers two distinct types of services: research computing and data analytical support for ongoing research projects and instructional activities and information technology support for faculty, research staff, administrative staff, trainees and students.

The Information and Technology Core’s multi-platform design provides a variety of options for secure data management and analysis of sensitive data, to accommodate Data Use Agreement (DUA) and Internal Review Board (IRB) specifications as well as HIPAA requirements.

The Institute has dedicated staff who manage and optimize these resources.
