This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) has been operating the Genomics and Imaging Core laboratories for approximately 4 years, and has recently become home to the Cytometry Core Laboratory. To streamline services and administration of these cores, they have been unified as the Central Research Services Core. This multi-user, fee-for-service facility houses state-of-the-art genomics equipment including: a Bio-Rad iCycler RT-PCR machine, an Amersham multimode imager, and glass slide and Affymetrix microarray platforms. The cytometer is a Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur, and the imaging equipment includes a Zeiss LSM-510 confocal laser scanning microscopy system. The centralized core has been funded with infrastructure awards from the NSF (EPS-0132556; $3.38M) and the NIH (2 P20 RR016464) with the goal of facilitating new lines of research and improving current research programs. Investigators studying genetic, cellular, molecular, physiological processes in biomedical and evolutionary contexts regularly use the facilities. With 21 registered users and new users being trained by the center's professional staff on a regular basis, the center is among the most heavily-utilized common-use facilities on the UNLV campus. No equivalent facilities exist within several hundred kilometers of UNLV. The core has also strengthened our training of postdoctoral, graduate and undergraduate students, improving their competitive ability and maturation as scientists. The facility director and technicians are responsible for (1) maintaining equipment in optimal working order, (2) administering user access, (3) organizing the training of new users, (4) updating hardware and software, (5) billing and accounting and (6) procurement of additional of funds to ensure that the facility continues to meet the needs of our research community. The INBRE award provides funds to support the center's director, technical staff, operating costs and service contracts for major equipment.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校(UNLV)已运营基因组学和成像核心实验室约4年，最近成为细胞学核心实验室的所在地。为了简化这些核心的服务和管理，它们已统一为中央研究服务核心。这一多用户、收费服务设施配备了最先进的基因组学设备，包括：Bio-Rad iCycler RT-PCR机、amersham多模式成像仪以及玻片和Affymetrix微阵列平台。细胞仪是Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur，成像设备包括蔡司LSM-510共聚焦激光扫描显微镜系统。集中核心的资金来自国家科学基金会(每股收益0132556美元；338万美元)和国家卫生研究院(2 P20 RR016464)的基础设施奖，目的是促进新的研究路线和改进现有的研究计划。在生物医学和进化背景下研究遗传、细胞、分子和生理过程的研究人员经常使用这些设施。该中心拥有21名注册用户和新用户，由该中心的专业人员定期培训，是UNLV园区使用率最高的共用设施之一。在联合国志愿人员组织的数百公里范围内没有类似的设施。核心还加强了博士后、研究生和本科生的培养，提高了他们作为科学家的竞争能力和成熟度。设施主管和技术人员负责(1)维护设备的最佳工作状态，(2)管理用户访问，(3)组织对新用户的培训，(4)更新硬件和软件，(5)计费和会计，以及(6)额外资金的采购，以确保设施继续满足我们研究社区的需求。INBRE提供资金支持该中心的主任、技术人员、运营成本和主要设备的服务合同。
