Your BRM will assign the appropriate team to capture the device requirements for you, your lab members, and your new lab. This will include the devices, and accompanying software needed to perform your specific type of research, as well as the more general devices such as laptops, monitors, and phones. In addition, we will identify and address any other technology needs you may have to perform your research, such as storage and high-performance computing.

We work closely with the Office of the Vice Dean for Research and Research Safety to help you coordinate lab set-up.

To find your liaison please reach out to SOMSafety@mednet.ucla.edu. Research Safety will work with your department and campus partners to meet your research goals.

You have a variety of services at your disposal for day-to-day work management. You can always discuss this in-depth with your BRM if you have any questions. Learn about the tools available to you →
