Researchers face increasing challenges managing IT infrastructure. From software and servers, to data storage and back-ups, the Research Computing Group (RCG) is here to help you with all your IT needs as a researcher at MSU. We have the expertise to provide infrastructure for projects ranging from large-scale computation and storage to small-scale hosting. Contact us to find out how we can help you.

Data Management

As many of the granting agencies begin to require data management plans, the RCG is ready to assist. Our experienced database designers and administrators develop  comprehensive solutions for designing an infrastructure to capture, manage, store, and publish data. We support multiple datastores from the familiar relational-style such as SQL and PostGRES, to document databases like persevere and mongo db.

Data Management Planning

We work with researchers to determine needs related to their data. We also provide data management templates for grant submission in response to recent changes implemented by the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health.

System Administration

We administer systems, both physical and virtual, in compliance with all university guidelines as well as industry best practices. The RCG system administration team has more than 20 years combined system administration experience.

IT Consultation

Our consulting team will work with individuals on a variety of complex implementation decisions. We can provide input and guidance on data gathering, sharing, storage, and dissemination.
