Attention Researchers!

This initiative aims to promote research resource identification, discovery, and reuse. The portal provides a central location for obtaining and exploring Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs).

The RRID is a persistent and unique identifier for referencing a research resource, such as antibodies, plasmids, model organisms, cell lines and software tools. Knowing the exact research resources used in an experiment removes ambiguity and allow researchers to replicate the experiment.

To search if a RRID exists or to register a new research resource, visit the Resource Identification Portal.
Collecting UTSW’s historical records, in digital or physical format, ensures that they can be preserved and made accessible to researchers in the future. If you or your department has items that might be related to the history of UTSW, please reach out to archives@utsouthwestern.edu.
