With a commendable 70% growth in research funding over the past decade, UCR is steadfast in its commitment to its mission pillars, encompassing distinctive transformative research, an empowering learning environment, inclusivity, public good, and sustainability. UCR’s research trajectory, from its pioneering advancements in agriculture to domains like arts, humanities, education, and STEM, demonstrates our global academic imprint. Positioned uniquely within the UC system, we offer solutions to regional challenges, while also resonating on a global scale. Our recent accolades, from joining the Association of American Universities (AAU) to being designated a Hispanic serving institution (one of only 4 in the AAU), further attest to our academic and societal impact. Central to UCR's endeavors is the Information T echnology Solutions (ITS) team. Working synergistically with the High Performance Computing Center and as well as departmental and college-level IT teams, ITS anchors UCR's comprehensive research computing infrastructure.
