Our team can guide you to secure technology services that meet your research needs and help you meet cybersecurity compliance requirements. Reach out to us at any point during the research lifecycle, ideally as early as possible during your proposal planning/writing phase to ensure understanding of technology, processes, security requirements, and associated costs.

General consulting services are offered to UCSF faculty, researchers, and staff at no cost. Longer term consulting, as part of a specialized project or formal commitments in support of grant awards, could be subject to recharge.

Questions we can help you answer:

Research Technology Consultation

• Are there existing UCSF-supported technologies, including local and cloud-based, that can meet my research needs?
• How much do I need to budget for technology to support my research?
• How do I connect with resources for database or application development and maintenance?
• What’s the process for bringing in a new application or system for my research?

Cybersecurity Compliance Consultation

• Can you review my proposal to see if I am meeting cybersecurity requirements?
• What does this cybersecurity clause in my grant, contract, or data use agreement mean?
• How do I meet cybersecurity requirements in my grant, contract, or data use agreement?
• Can you help me document security compliance for submission to my sponsor?
