Former Research Applications Support Portal
We are doing a soft launch of the new portal on Friday, July 18. The official launch of the new portal is on July 21, 2025.
Open requests as of July 21, 2025 will be migrated to the new portal. Once the former portal is switched to view-only, you can use this link to view old requests until August 26, 2025.
If you have URLs, support email addresses, including the secure address, etc. on resources owned/managed by your department, center, institute, or research group, you are responsible for updating them as the new portal is made available.
Our old support email addresses (e.g., oncoresupport@wisc.edu) will be retired on September 30, 2025.
Note: The secure email address will also be retired on September 30, 2025 because the new portal is HIPAA compliant and PHI is allowed within the system.
