Collaboration in Research Alan Wolf
Research Support Working Group • Distributed and DoIT personnel • Understand the computing needs of the research community • Pre/Post Award • In the research process and award managent • Underlying all the infrastructure discussions (networking, storage, IAA) is collaboration
Needs for collaboration • Pre-award • Proposal planning and preparation • Post-award • Information and data sharing • Analyzing data • Presentation and paper preparation • Grant administration • Collaboration occurs across campus and around the world
How people meet their needs • E-mail • Tools they administer themselves • wikis • disciplinary tools with collaboration features • collaboration suites • Video chat and other VC apps • Tools at other institutions • Institutions offering tools (e.g. C-Tools at Michigan) • Tools hosted in collaboration tools
What have I heard? • There are a wide variety of needs and ability to fund tools. • There are some baseline needs that should be available to all researchers • They would be interested in using the same tools in their research, teaching, and service.
