Research Core Facilities
A research core facility is a shared research facility that houses specialized scientific instruments and provides expert consultation and services to investigators. These facilities charge their users predetermined, University-approved rates on a cost recovery basis in exchange for access to state of the art equipment that is generally too expensive for individual users to purchase or maintain. Access to equipment and services is rendered on an equitable basis across the institution and facilitates research across several colleges/schools.
The fundamental requirement of a research core facility is that it needs to enhance research at the University, which can be measured by an increase in the number of research grants funded, in the quality of papers published and/or in the retention and recruitment of faculty.
