Yes, ISS and the HHD Research Office collaborate to deliver consolidated IT support.  Chris Greiner (cvg6@psu.edu) is the Research IT Director for HHD.

Does ISS manage and support all IT services? icon-olus-circle

Many common IT services such as email and storage are delivered by Penn State IT units that are not organizationally linked to ISS or HHD.  ISS is familiar with the IT services delivered by external organizations and should be your first option for IT related questions and requests for support.
