Examples of the type of questions that could be addressed:

  • I collaborate with researchers across different universities. Is it secure to use X solution to share data?
  • I work with big data and high performance computing. What is the best repository for my data?
  • I work with human participants and I need to record my interviews. Can I use software X to record them, and software Y to upload them to an IT approved cloud solution?
  • I would like to use a software that is not yet approved by IT Services. Do I need to go through a vetting process?
  • I need to transcribe interviews using X software. Can I use that software to perform transcriptions of the recordings and/or content analysis?
  • I am planning my project’s data management. What are data models and standards most commonly used in my field? Where can I find this information?
  • I want to conduct anonymous surveys using X solution. Will this be a secure option?
  • I have a project with an industry partner that would like to use X software to manage the project’s sensitive data. What are the IP and privacy implications?
