The Office of the Vice President for Research has recently approved a 3-year renewal of LabArchives Research ELN. Research ELN is an Electronic Lab Notebook designed to help researchers and lab personnel organize and manage their research data. This cloud-based platform provides a secure workspace for researchers to store, share, and collaborate on their research data.

LabArchives ELN can be used to meet data sharing requirements of the new National Institutes of Health (NIH) Data Management and Sharing Policy. The platform allows users to easily share their data with collaborators, grant reviewers, and other stakeholders, while maintaining control over intellectual property. LabArchives can also be used to ensure effective research data management plans.

LabArchives ELN is available to faculty, staff, and students without charge (free).
