The HSIT Research team supports researchers with a suite of compliant tools and services, including REDCap, Qualtrics, Twilio, and the Advarra clinical trial systems. We also help researchers design and document secure technical solutions across the grant life cycle, from IRB submission language to data use agreement management.

The Health Services Research Data Center (HSRDC), part of the Research IT group within Health Sciences IT, supports researchers at every stage of the research life cycle, from grant submission through data management and analysis. All work happens on our secure servers, accessed through virtual desktops. We also host a broad range of research data, including claims, EHR, survey, and high-frequency monitor data, and support researchers throughout the data management process.
