Recharge
IT and DMG services are handled through recharges that are based on algorithms developed by Finance and Administration. Network service costs are shared by all users. The DMG recharge system is applicable to studies collecting participant data and using the Research Data System. These cost structures have been used and refined over the past 20 years and are well-documented. For more information, contact Sally Mead, F&A Administrator for Computer Systems.
Vendor Management
IT follows university and department financial administration policies for selection and purchase of facilities, equipment, and services.
