Our Primary Goal

The mission of the Office of Faculty and Research Support (OFRS) is to support UTRGV faculty and researchers by working with them to software management, high performance computing, virtual computing and customization, in support of teaching and research in fields that have regional and global impacts.

Welcome

OFRS, part of the IT support department, gives Faculty and Researchers a more personal interface to the IT division. We can serve you best if you come and chat with us and let us know what you're working on and how OFRS can help you.

We are working with several departments campus-wide in physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, and the college of business administration.

A significant project of interest is the server virtualization project, where we transition physical computer servers into virtual servers hosted in-house and maintained internally.

We also operate and support high-performance computing resources that we encourage faculty and researchers to take advantage of. For example, we have systems here at UTRGV and free access to more extensive systems remotely at UT Austin's TACC (Texas Advanced Computing Center) facility.

You can read more about the services and see examples of current and recently completed projects.

To conclude, OFRS expects to continually find creative solutions to the technological challenges proposed by our Faculty and Research clients.
