About Clinical Research Storage

The Clinical Research R: drive provides centrally managed and secure SMB folder shares, as specified, per individual IRB-approved clinical research study. Access depends on CITI training completion and being listed on the IRB approval.

How to request

Submit a request through TeamDynamix to create research share folders.
Identify the PI — whose name becomes the main folder — with subfolders established per study.
List every IRB-approved study team member's SBUID for security provisioning, including your own.

Guideline: researchers must keep data within the allocated study share or shares created for the specific IRB-approved study or purpose.

Example use case

A computer science professor collaborated with radiologists to develop diagnostic algorithms using de-identified imaging and corresponding radiology reports, with proper IRB clearance, in a designated clinical research share.
