The Research Application Team assists investigators and research departments with the evaluation and implementation of new software solutions that support research activities.
When new software or platforms are proposed for use at Rush, they typically require review and approval from Cybersecurity and Legal to ensure compliance with institutional security, privacy, and contractual requirements. Because of this review process, implementation timelines may vary.
How We Support You
Our team can help guide you through the process by:
- Assisting with the evaluation of new research software and platforms
- Coordinating with Cybersecurity and Legal teams during the review and approval process
- Supporting technical implementation and system setup once approval is granted
- Helping integrate the new system with existing research applications and data platforms when needed
Important Considerations
All new software used for research must meet institutional standards for data security, compliance, and privacy protection. Early engagement with the Research Application Team can help streamline the evaluation process and reduce potential delays.
Requests for evaluating or implementing new research software can be submitted through the Generic Service Request - Rush ESC. Under "Category," please select "University - Research"
