UBC VP Health: Join the conversation about the respectful and equity-oriented collection and use of disaggregated data NEW
UBC Health and its partners are committed to being part of ongoing conversations about the collection and use of disaggregated data. A series of disaggregated data dialogue sessions hosted by UBC Health resulted in participants recognizing the need for principles and guidelines for the collection and use of disaggregated data. To start this process, UBC Health is working with the research community to identify and synthesize resources that can support researchers in applying respectful and equity-addressing principles in the collection and use of disaggregated data.
Researchers are invited to use an online interactive tool to share resources that guide their work. This may include principles, guidance, reports, papers, authors, individuals, UBC units, and/or organizations.
After gathering the information, UBC Health will highlight results at future sessions of its Disaggregated Data Dialogue Series, with the intent of creating a set of evolving best practices for disaggregated data.
For more information about this initiative, visit the UBC Health website, or access the online tool.
The deadline to provide resources and input is June 30, 2022.
New advanced research computing support for cloud computing and data transfer
UBC Advanced Research Computing (ARC) is launching two new services that support UBC researchers to access cloud computing and transfer research data with ease.
UBC ARC RONIN provides UBC researchers with a user-friendly web interface to harness powerful and flexible cloud computing infrastructure without learning complex details of cloud computing. Configured to address the needs of the UBC research community, RONIN complements the existing ARC digital research infrastructure. Where budget is available, it provides flexible options to address specialized needs and ARC can assist with the purchasing or integrating of existing Amazon Web Services credits. See full details
Globus Plus expands the capacity of Globus, a widely used research-focused data management platform that lets users efficiently, securely, and reliably transfer data between a local computer, ARC Sockeye, ARC Chinook, and many research computing endpoints worldwide. The Globus Plus feature allows users to create shared endpoints from any computer and transfer files between two personal Globus endpoints. Learn more
