The University of Wisconsin-Madison, as part of its mission as a research institution, allows campus-affiliated researchers to use email to send its faculty, staff, and students information about research subject participation opportunities.
The Department of Information Technology’s Engagement Solutions will now manage this service to continue supporting the research community. The new Research Email Service will be similar to the former offering. Qualified researchers and investigators will continue to complete a request form with the relevant information. Engagement Solutions then creates the email message, verifies the requested content with the researcher via the review of an email a test, and schedules the email to be sent to the requested population.
The main changes are:
- A new request form located at: marketingautomation.wisc.edu/research-email-service.
- A minimum of 7-day lead time—there is no longer a “Rush/Expedite” option for an additional fee.
- No additional cost—this service will now be included (for the research community only) in technology support.
Use of these email addresses has been approved by the campus data custodians Office of the Registrar for student information, and the Office of Human Resources for faculty and staff information.
All email messages will be sent from the following:
Sender Email Name—UW-Madison Research
Sender Email Address—research@explore.wisc.edu
This new request process and form are replacing the previous details described at massemail.lists.wisc.edu. For more information and policies, see the Research Email Knowledge Base.
