The value of a program is its ability to pursue an integrated scientific theme and integrate diverse investigators. An equal number of individuals projects (R01's) may result in as such information but neither it nor the individual's PI's will share a direction. The core scientific concept of a program project provides the most important integration of a project. Intercommunication and the sharing of technology throughout the project is a second important source of integration. An instrumentation core becomes central to a program project by providing the shared technology, nurturing that technology, and supply efficient means of communication. Over the last two funding cycles for our project the Instrumentation Core has evolved to focus on the integration of the program project. Our aims remain much the same, but our emphasis has shifted away from the construction of electronic circuits and the development of biological measurement instrument to the development and maintenance of computer systems/networks and the integration of laboratory and ambulatory equipment with these systems/networks. We have increasingly recognized that it is more cost-effective to contract for special purpose equipment design and equipment modification. As our needs in this area have decreased, it has not been economical to retain an employee specializing in circuit design and construction.

程序的价值在于其追求综合科学主题并整合多元化研究者的能力。相等数量的个人项目（R01）可能会导致此类信息，但它也不会共享方向。计划项目的核心科学概念提供了一个项目的最重要整合。整个项目中的互通和技术共享是集成的第二个重要来源。仪器核心通过提供共享技术，培养该技术并提供有效的沟通手段，成为计划项目的核心。在我们项目的最后两个资金周期中，仪器核心已经演变为计划项目的集成。我们的目标保持不变，但是我们的重点已从电子电路的构建以及生物测量工具的开发转移到计算机系统/网络的开发和维护以及实验室和门诊设备与这些系统/网络的集成。我们越来越认识到，为特殊用途设备设计和设备修改收缩收缩更具成本效益。随着我们在该领域的需求减少，保留专门从事电路设计和建设的员工并不经济。
