Research & Data Resources
There are many resources at UC (within the library and through other UC offices) that can help you plan and execute your research project. If you have questions about the resources, please contact Research and Data Services at AskData@UC.Edu or the specific contact listed with the resource.
The resources in this section are for when you are beginning to plan your project. It is best to start conversations early especially if you want to collaborate.

- Human Research Protection Program
- Additional Office of Research support offices
- Innovation and IP support - contact form
- Evaluation Services Center
Resources in this section are also important for the beginning of the project and may need to be included in a grant applicaiton (e.g. the data management plan).
