The University of Minnesota’s Research Cyberinfrastructure Alliance (RCA) brings key groups together to coordinate and align distributed strategic research cyberinfrastructure and related services for the benefit of the researcher. The alliance enables researchers to plan, coordinate and conduct research projects with technologists and professionals who have expertise in specialized scientific applications, image processing, life-cycle data management, operation of clusters and parallel systems, and algorithm development.
In support of the University’s goal to be one of the top three public research universities in the world, this strategic alliance was developed in fall 2007 to enhance interdisciplinary research and allow researchers to explore radically new concepts, approaches, and tools.
RCA sponsors include: Office of the Vice President for Research, the University Libraries, and the Office of Information Technology.
