Resources for Academic Research and Scholarship

External Grant Support

Data Management Plan (DMP) Creation Support

Partnership between the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research Compliance (SPaRC) and Information and Library Services (ILS) ensures questions about conceptualizing and drafting your research data management plan (DMP) are productively addressed.  If you have questions about available data management resources or compliance with requirements for federal granting agencies, this is your resource.

Leavitt High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC)

A high performance computing cluster (HPCC) created with the support of startup funds from Professors Jeffrey Oishi and Aleksandar Diamond-Stanic and envisioned as a resource to support the curricular and scholarly needs of all Bates faculty, students, and staff.
