Division of Information Technology CTO Office Research Cyberinfrastructure Regulated Research

The Office of the Chief Technology Officer supports the university in working toward a more flexiblecohesiveand agile IT infrastructure to reduce complexity and modernize existing systems.

The Research Cyberinfrastructure unit within the Division of Information Technology is a group of ITprofessionals that provides services and support to researchers for their data computing data scienceand AI-based work. Our mission is to provide a robust secure and evolving infrastructure that enables thework of researchers in all disciplines and aligns with UW Madisons research mission and strategicpriorities. To do this we partner extensively with groups in central and distributed IT research computingcenters the Data Science Institute and theLibraries. We focus on providing high quality reliable serviceswhile continuously exploring and learningnew technologiesthat will become transformative for research.

The Regulated Research group withinResearchCyberinfrastructure focuses on providing services and support to researchers with complex regulatoryneedsincluding those defined for management of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This includes the development and management of a cloud-based research platform as well as connections to other UW Madison systems as necessary tofacilitateregulated research. While we build systems to meet the complex regulatory environment our fundamental goal is to enable UW Madison researchers toeffectively efficiently and safely conduct research.
