  1. UC Berkeley Research IT David Greenbaum, Research IT (RIT), Office of the CIO For UC Irvine, December 4, 2015

  2. Today’s Presentation • Context: How can we support UC Berkeley researchers and where is Berkeley now? • Berkeley Research Computing • Digital Humanities • Research Data Management • Museum Informatics: CollectionSpace • What next in the future?

  3. Research IT: Mission Research IT provides research information technologies, consulting, and community for the Berkeley campus. Our goal: Advance research by providing faculty and students the best IT services possible.

  4. Some Basics about RIT@UCB History 15 FTE; approx. 20 people. $3.5-4 million budget. 1/3 IST Operating. 1/3 Chancellor/VCR/CIO for BRC. 1/3 Grants and one-time funds. Report to CIO. Partnership with VCR. Major campus initiatives: Data Science for research and for education.

  13. I. Current Services

  15. Mobility of Compute CLOUD COMPUTING CONSULTING CONDO/ INSTITUTIONAL CLUSTER VIRTUAL WORKSTATIONS NCSA

  16. Partnership BRC Center for New Music and Audio Technologies

  17. “Birthright” Services BRC Faculty Computing Allowance: 200,000 core hours on new cluster free to all faculty Principal Investigators This plus condo specifically designed to help with grant support, faculty recruitment and retention More general idea: “Birthright” services that campus “citizens” receive as the fundamental services needed to succeed in their research

  18. #DH@Berkeley • Project Bamboo 2008-12: Building context & connections • Active projects: • Building Digital Humanities at Berkeley ($2M Mellon grant, with Dean of Arts and Humanities, + VCRO support) • DiRT: Digital Research Tools directory (Mellon funded) • Prosopography Services (NEH funded, w/Near Eastern Studies) • Additional work: • Free Speech Movement archives hackathon • Hack the Hearst (together with museum informatics)

  19. Investing in DH • Modest investment yields considerable reward • Value of broad reach on campus • Together, Research Computing, Data Management, and DH cover broad scope of campus departments • Surprising commonality and mobility across services • Important for support of big projects (like BRC) • Consulting connects services/people • Domain specialty, but full-scope familiarity • Strong ties to partners, community

  20. What is Research Data Management?

  21. RDM is a scholarly workflow

  22. Who Cares About RDM Anyway?

  23. RDM Program First Year Goals • RDM Service Guide • RDM Consulting Service • RDM Training & Workshops • For service providers • For researchers • Faculty engagement and needs assessment for new services

  25. RDM Consulting • Goal: Build a network of RDM Consultants in the Library and Research IT who can… • Help researchers with questions along the data lifecycle • Refer questions to other RDM Consultants and to other service providers across campus • Discover RDM needs • How does this happen? • Apply principles and vision • Start small and grow • Build a great RDM Service Guide • Provide training for consultants and researchers

  26. Workshop 1 Feedback

  27. CollectionSpace: A strategic platform for museum collections management

  28. Progress in CollectionSpace Deployments Museum Partners at UC Berkeley

  29. II. Future Vision (grass should be green)

  30. Research IT: Future • Reviewing now for Future: • Data Analysis: Quantitative and Qualitative Tools • Data Visualization and GIS • Research Application Development Support • Software Licensing and Distribution • Web Publishing and Collaboration

  31. Future: Faculty Engagement Faculty / Researcher Engagement and Consulting: Grow and refine researcher engagement model. This will include substantial investment in consulting staff who can wear two hats: research domain knowledge and IT knowledge. And staff who sit in two or more places: e.g., ORU and Research IT. Make sure that every ladder rank faculty member knows RIT and what we and the campus research IT community can provide. Build an integrated consulting model with multiple campus groups, especially ETS. Measure stakeholder perceptions and continuously improve.
