Research Committee
Charge
The Research Committee considers research efforts across the University of Illinois, in a wide variety of disciplines, that increasingly depend on a robust and sustainable research-computing environment. These resources include technical support staffs who work directly with researchers as well as computing resources such as cutting-edge networking, high-performance compute clusters, large-scale data storage, stewardship of data, specialized consulting, and other services. Other support includes improving research administration processes so more grants can be applied for, awarded, and administered with less effort.
Objectives Heading link
- Facilitate access to cyberinfrastructure systems for faculty and researchers to support computation and data-intensive research capabilities; for example, meet high performance networking needs of researchers, provide easy access to high performance computing and increased access to compute cycles, and provide ubiquitous, high-capacity data storage
- Facilitate access to contemporary and innovative cyberinfrastructure services for faculty and researchers to support computation and data-intensive research capabilities
- Recommend IT systems and services that support research administration and institutional stewardship of research data
- Provide improved continuous communication and education for researchers in the University system to increase awareness of the computing resources available and to facilitate communication between research groups
