OIT regularly works with faculty members and researchers to develop proposals and budgets for the computational components of externally-funded research. This includes not only the IT equipment and services needed for research, but also staff support from Application Scientists at the Center for Computation and Visualization and Data Scientists in the Data Science Practice. These full-time research staff can provide a wide array of expertise in computational methods (including high-performance computing, software engineering, informatics, machine learning, visualization, and data management) and are often named as key personnel on proposals, with OIT directors serving as co-investigators. In cases where staffing is not needed as part of a proposal, we also provide letters of support and facilities statements for IT services, which typically include access to high-performance computing, research data storage, and secure computing environments for research with restricted-use data.
