How to use the SRE

SRE Workflow for Principal Investigators

SRE = Microsoft Azure Secure Research Environment; RIC = UMMS Research Informatics Core;

PI = Principal Investigator; If PI is from UMD (University of Maryland, College Park), PI must obtain a UMB ID

1. PI discusses data request with RIC
2. PI completes ICTR form requesting data
3. RIC interviews PI for data, storage, & computing needs
4. RIC shares data, storage, and computing info with UMB IT
5. UMB IT discusses SRE and potential costs with RIC and PI
6. UMB IT onboards PI to SRE
7. RIC moves the IRB-approved data to SRE
8. PI begins research in SRE

SRE Workflow for Principal Investigators with non-UMMS Data source

SRE = Microsoft Azure Secure Research Environment;

UMB IT = University of Maryland Information Technology Group;

PI = Principal Investigator

1. PI contacts UMB IT to discuss data, storage, and computing needs
2. UMB IT onboards PI to SRE
3. PI begins research in SRE

What if I already have a current project?

Does the PI have an existing project?

• No: Is there a project request submitted with ICTR?
  • No: The PI should reach out to the RIC at EDA-Research@umm.edu to start the project request
  • Yes: Does it use data governed by UMMS?
    • Yes: Reach out to the RIC at EDA-Research@umm.edu to discuss moving the project to SRE.
      • UMB IT will also get involved after initial consultation with the RIC.
        • An SRE is created for your project
    • No: Reach out to UMB IT at SRE-Support@umaryland.edu to discuss moving the project to SRE
