Soteria - Questions and Answers.
Soteria is a secure enclave where teams can collaboratively organize and analyze protected data while adhering to compliance requirements. The Soteria enclave allows researchers to efficiently manage, analyze and collaborate with PII, PHI, and other datasets that require adherence to higher levels of compliance as mandated by the data providers. It's comprised of multiple well known cutting-edge tools that collectively ensure that protected data remains secure through the lifecycle of interdisciplinary research projects. All tools available through the Soteria enclave can be accessed using a web browser.
Yes. We can provide a Soteria Facilities document. As early as possible, send an email requesting a Soteria Facilities document.
Currently, the use of many Soteria components is offered at no cost as it is underwritten by the UArizona Health Sciences Strategic Initiative 5.3.
As one of the nation's leading public research universities, the University of Arizona is home to researchers who collaborate with other researchers located around the globe.
Collaborating researchers outside of the UArizona can use Soteria, but only if they are confirmed as a UArizona Designated Campus Colleague (DCC) collaborating with a UArizona researcher with approved Soteria access. The University of Arizona collaborating faculty researchers must enroll the outside collaborator as a DCC through their UArizona department, institute, or unit.
The built-in research tools—some of which are developed at UArizona and are exclusively offered only to UArizona researchers and their projects—are what make the platform uniquely customized for the research needs of the campus community. Find more information about the Soteria research tools.
