The exact location of PARCC is yet to be determined, but will be in the mid atlantic region to provide a highly responsive experience from campus

Initially, we will have a knowledge base to help users get started. As we build out capabilities, we hope to introduce more thorough training options. Please email parcc-info@parcc.upenn.edu with any specific questions.

We aim to offer support surrounding your research journey using the PARCC system. As we build out capabilities, we will have more explicit support offerings. Please email parcc-info@parcc.upenn.edu with any specific questions.

PARCC aims to be operational in Spring 2025.

We are working to find a model that will enable the growth of the center while being financially responsible for our researchers to utilize. We will provide guidance for common cost comparisons around the university. Sign up for our mailing list to stay updated!

Yes! While we don’t know exactly what this will look like yet, we are planning on supporting these sort of options. Please reach out to parcc-info@parcc.upenn.edu and your School IT department to coordinate with the latest information.

PARCC will have a phased approach with a pilot during 2025 and opening up for more general availability to Penn researchers after the pilot is completed.

Data security is very important to us at PARCC. We are working with our vendors and ISC Compliance office to ensure that we have robust data security. Details on security and compliance specifications will follow.

Postdocs should complete the responsible conduct of research (RCR) training. There will be training required for specific kinds of research and they should discuss with their faculty mentor as well as explore the offices relavant to their research (e.g. IRB, Biosafety, etc).

Postdocs can be appointed for one year at a time and for up to five years, depending on prior experience. Information on appointments can be reviewed in the postdoctoral policy.

The Community Engagement Research Core (part of ITMAT) is a resource at Penn that offers “consultation on community engagement, training in participatory research methods, and assistance with community translation activities”.
