Finding suitable storage for research data can be quite challenging. Amongst data classification, access need, and size requirements, researchers often find themselves lost through the list of available options. The UBC Research Storage Finder tool is designed to assist researchers in finding available solutions for research data collection, computing and storage. It includes solutions offered by UBC Information Technology (UBCIT),UBC Advanced Research Computing (ARC), UBC Faculty of Medicine (FoM), Population Data BC (PopDataBC), The BC Children Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR), Michael Smith Health Research BC and The Digital Research Alliance of Canada (The Alliance).
