The ARC team provides consultation and support across a wide range of high-performance computing domains.
Grant Proposalsgrant
The ARC team offers consultations on grant applications requiring advanced research computing resources, addressing infrastructure, data storage and data management needs.
ARC can help researchers ensure their proposals and technically robust and aligned with funding agency requirements, helping researchers to enhance the competitiveness and impact of their grant applications.
Research Systemssystems
ARC consults on research systems, to support UBC researchers in optimizing computational workflows and leveraging advanced digital infrastructure. These consultations address diverse needs, from configuring high-performance computing resources to integrating scalable storage solutions. By tailoring strategies to specific research requirements, ARC helps maximize the efficiency and impact of computational research efforts
Data Privacy and Securitydata
ARC offers comprehensive security and privacy consultation services to researchers involved in advanced research computing. Topics of inquiry may include seeking expert advice on cybersecurity, identifying non-restrictive privacy solutions or ensuring compliance with UBC’s policies and best practices. ARC can also work with researchers on risk assessments, system security plans, and provide assistance with regulatory requirements.
ARC collaborates with UBC legal counsel, cybersecurity experts, and external partners to support researchers in safeguarding their data, regardless of project scope.
Research Data Management
ARC supports researchers with comprehensive Research Data Management (RDM) services, acting as a central resource to streamline access to tools, expertise, and campus-wide resources. This includes providing access to software like Globus for secure data transfer and management, as well as brokering connections to specialized RDM services available at UBC, such as data repositories and metadata support.
By serving as a single point of contact, ARC simplifies the process for researchers to develop robust RDM strategies, ensuring compliance with funding requirements and promoting effective data stewardship
