Research Impact Partners

MD Anderson Cancer Center and UT Austin have launched a strategic collaboration aimed at promoting research collaborations between the two institutions. Investigators and leadership have worked together to identify research themes of mutual interest.

The UT-City of Austin Master Interlocal Agreement (ILA) facilitates research opportunities for City departments to collaborate more easily with university researchers.

DMC group works to meet the needs of faculty and researchers for data collection services, and to contribute to the potential of data-driven research to make discoveries. The group builds and maintains large data-management and storage resources and consults with collections' creators in all aspects of the data lifecycle, from creation to long-term preservation and access. The DMC group actively seeks out research and grant proposal collaborations with researchers and institutions with collections of interest.

DesignSafe is a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure that provides cloud-based tools to manage, analyze, understand, and publish critical data for research to understand the impacts of natural hazards. DesignSafe is hosted at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. It is part of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) program. Funded by NSF, NHERI is a distributed national facility that enables research discoveries that will protect human life, reduce damage, and minimize economic losses during natural hazard events.

EPIC's mission is to broaden participation in K20 computing pathways through research, outreach, professional development, and policy advocacy. (PK-12 students and teachers)

The Oden Institute conducts interdisciplinary computing research that brings together foundational mathematical, statistical and computational elements with applications that cut across science, engineering, geosciences, and medicine.
