Working with IGDORE USA

We apply a rigorous OS methodology to our work, so please take note of a few operational rules for working through IGDORE USA. The process will be familiar to investigators who have worked with federally funded projects, with the added obligation of applying OS principles of transparency, sharing, and access.

Other Services

IGDORE USA offers capacity and competencies to support most types of research in all disciplines. We offer support for projects that collect PII, health data, classified data, Indigenous knowledge, and other sensitive information; require IRB monitoring and approval; and need direct project management. Projects that call for access to labs, proving grounds, or other research facilities; equipment and/or instrumentation; library services; or specialized research support should add six months to their proposal submission date to ensure that we can secure the accommodation. In cases where we are unable to provide access to facilities and equipment, we will help investigators understand the options for their sovereign research.
