About RITS

The University of Regina research enterprise has grown considerably for the past few years and now includes larger research projects, which tend to have bigger technological requirements, such as software development and large amounts of data storage and analysis. Historically, Information Services has had to handle the institution’s operational IT needs, while balancing individual research needs.

The Research Information Technology Support (RITS) is a collaboration between the Office of the Vice-President (Research) and the Information Services team, with the purpose to help researchers assess their IT needs for proposal development, as well as executing the necessary IT development within their research projects.
