This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The Histology and Imaging Core will be housed in the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Instrumentation Resource Facilty (IRF) which is an existing core facility serving the entire USC research environment. As in the current COBRE grant, the purpose of the Histology and Imaging is to: A) provide access to state-of-the-art expensive instrumentation; B) Provide the expertise to efficiently operate the equipment; C) to provide assistance in the interpretation of data generated in the Core for the preparation of experiments, grants and publications. As a core resource for the CCCR COBRE there are three primary goals: 1) to provide access to all equipment and technical expertise in the IRF for CCCR COBRE Target Faculty through the Biotechnology Core budget so that no Target Investigators will pay IRF user fees; 2) to provide an improved avenue of communication for collaborations with research faculty within the IRF for Junior and Senior CCCR COBRE Investigators; and 3) to provide improved infrastructure capabilities for the entire University of South Carolina research environment. During the first four years of the existing COBRE grant the Core has interacted with most junior and senior faculty members affiliated with the CCCR COBRE. All Junior Investigators, including Target Faculty as well as new hires, have received free use of the IRF equipment and technicians through compensation to the IRF by the Histology and Imaging Core budget. Although the current group of COBRE Junior and Senior investigators represent approximately 30% of the total use of the IRF, the facility has a large and diverse user base that includes investigators from a number of colleges within the University of South Carolina. The diverse group of users, along with financial support from the School of Medicine (currently $300,000/year) insures the continued viability of the Core after the completion of the second five year period of the COBRE.

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 组织学和成像核心将设在南卡罗来纳大学医学院仪器资源设施 (IRF) 内，该设施是服务于整个南加州大学研究环境的现有核心设施。 与当前的 COBRE 资助一样，组织学和成像的目的是： A) 提供最先进的昂贵仪器； B) 提供有效操作设备的专业知识； C) 为解释核心中生成的数据提供帮助，以准备实验、资助和出版物。 作为 CCCR COBRE 的核心资源，有三个主要目标： 1) 通过生物技术核心预算为 CCCR COBRE 目标教员提供 IRF 中所有设备和技术专业知识的使用权，这样目标研究者就不会支付 IRF 使用费； 2）为与研究人员的合作提供更好的沟通途径 初级和高级 CCCR COBRE 调查员的 IRF； 3) 为整个南卡罗来纳大学研究环境提供改进的基础设施能力。 在现有 COBRE 资助的前四年中，核心人员与 CCCR COBRE 附属的大多数初级和高级教员进行了互动。 所有初级研究人员，包括目标教员和新员工，都可以通过组织学和成像核心预算向 IRF 提供补偿，免费使用 IRF 设备和技术人员。尽管目前的 COBRE 初级和高级研究人员群体约占 IRF 总使用量的 30%，但该设施拥有庞大且多样化的用户群，其中包括来自南卡罗来纳大学内多个学院的研究人员。多元化的用户群体以及医学院的财政支持（目前为 300,000 美元/年）确保了核心在 COBRE 第二个五年期完成后的持续生存能力。
