WB5 - Linking High-Risk-Data-Researchers to Appropriate Technology Services Potential Role of a Faculty Liaison - Fall 2021 IT Pro Forum

There are numerous data technology options available to researchers utilizing high risk data. Identifying the appropriate level of storage security and leveraging campus technology to ensure the best balance between access and security are evolving tasks for campus technology professionals and researchers. Changing technologies create the need for an active interface between both groups. One possible model of engagement is to: 1) Embed a faculty researcher within technology services as a point of contact for both groups; 2) develop a self-assessment tool for researchers to identify data risks and the campus technology available to minimize those risks; and 3) create mechanisms to engage in regular assessments of the changing high risk data needs and the technologies to address those needs. The presentation will explore the value added aspects of creating a position for faculty within technology services to increase the access and use of high risk data services by researchers.
