While this transition has already taken place operationally, we are pleased to formally share this update with the research community. Please join us in welcoming the Office of Research IT team as they become part of the University IT and Center for Integrated Research Compute (CIRC) family.<\/p>\n<p>ORIT has long supported the University\u2019s research computing environment, including high-performance computing infrastructure, secure data storage and access, and technology solutions that enable research at scale. Integrating ORIT within UIT streamlines service lines and access points, giving researchers a more unified path to technical support. This alignment also strengthens coordination across IT units, reinforces long-term, sustainable support for the University\u2019s research technology resources, and lays the groundwork for broader collaboration across the University\u2019s IT ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, ORIT and UIT are collaborating to bring teams together and assess how best to align roles and responsibilities. There are no immediate changes to how researchers request support. For high-performance computing (HPC) needs, please continue to contact CIRC. For local compute or storage needs <strong>within the School of Medicine &amp; Dentistry <\/strong>please continue to contact <a href=\"mailto:Mike_Conklin@URMC.Rochester.edu\">Mike Conklin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to communicate additional details as roles and responsibilities evolve to support a more integrated and seamless research IT environment.<\/p>\n<p>Please join us in recognizing this important step toward a more integrated and sustainable IT infrastructure in support of the University\u2019s research mission.<\/p>\n<p>Warm regards,<\/p>\n<p>Julie Myers<br \/>\nVice President for Information Technology<br \/>\nChief Information Officer<\/p>\n<p>Steve Dewhurst, PhD<br \/>\nVice President for Research<br \/>\nVice Dean for Research, School of Medicine &amp; Dentistry<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Peyre, EdD<br \/>\nChief Operating Officer, School of Medicine &amp; Dentistry<br \/>\nVice Dean for Education, School of Medicine &amp; Dentistry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear colleagues, The Office of Research IT (ORIT) has officially joined University IT (UIT).
