Protected Network for Research (PNR) and Enhanced Support for Regulated Data

The PNR and associated regulatory support helps researchers working with regulated and sensitive research data. The services do not support clinical research or research involving Duke Health PHI. The newly launched PNR consists of technical services (an on-premises secure enclave to store and analyze sensitive research data) and facilitative services to assist with necessary regulatory requirements (contracts, security reviews, and IRB protocols). Researchers can receive full-service assistance when they need it and use self-service tools when they don’t. 

coming soon

• Enhanced Research Computing Services: Technology resources and support are provided to researchers who apply computational and quantitative methods in every field. With CDSA support, more no-cost technology resources, including GPUs for machine learning, are being added for faculty labs and doctoral student use.

• Duke Data Attic Pilot: A new project-based storage service to help researchers meet the growing needs of the research data management lifecycle. Free entitlements will be provided for faculty and doctoral students with affordable options to add storage. The Duke Data Attic is planned to be an un-curated, flexible place to store and share (internally and externally) infrequently used data or data that may be reused. 

• Data Service Finder Tool: The proposed self-service tool aims to help researchers find best-fitting and allowable tools and platforms for data collection, storage and compute and archiving.
