-In July 2021, the IT Research Support Solutions team was formed at the University of Missouri – Columbia to diminish technology related barriers faced by researchers across the UM System in their daily work. As a part of the university’s MizzouForward initiative, the IT RSS team plays an integral role in the work being done to enhance MU’s research and education missions. Traditionally, IT resources have only focused on solving business needs and now our technologists are helping move the needle to ensure researchers can go further, faster.  +In July 2021, the IT Research Support Solutions team was formed at the University of Missouri – Columbia in collaboration with RSS at Missouri S&T to diminish technology-related barriers faced by researchers across the UM System in their daily work.

-Our team prioritizes the development of the next generation of computing resources and is working to implement solutions to improve the research data ecosystem (storage, data management) and to provide a team of experts to help in-person with practical researcher IT needs. This includes assisting researchers with getting the necessary tools and equipment when standard processes don’t fit. This means expanding our team in ways we haven’t traditionally done in the past. We now have capacity for technologists to serve as Data Architects, HPC System Administrators, as well as members of the X-Team in order to break the boundaries of research technology in a way that enhances service to researchers. +Our team, operating on a support model created at Missouri S&T by Mark Bookout, prioritizes the development of the next generation of computing resources and is working to implement solutions to improve the research data ecosystem (storage, data management) and to provide a team of experts to help in-person with practical researcher IT needs.
