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.

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 组织学和成像核心将设在南卡罗来纳州大学医学院仪器资源设施（IRF），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。 与目前的COBRE补助金一样，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）协助解释核心数据库中产生的数据，以准备实验、赠款和出版物。 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目标教师提供IRF的所有设备和技术专业知识，以便目标研究者无需支付IRF用户费用; 2）为内部研究人员的合作提供更好的沟通渠道。 初级和高级CCCR COBRE研究员的IRF; 3）为整个南卡罗来纳州大学的研究环境提供改进的基础设施能力。 在现有的COBRE赠款的前四年，核心与CCCR COBRE附属的大多数初级和高级教师进行了互动。 所有初级研究者，包括目标教员以及新雇员，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。虽然目前COBRE初级和高级调查员约占IRF总使用人数的30%，但该设施有一个庞大而多样化的用户群，其中包括来自南卡罗来纳州许多学院的调查员。多样化的用户群体，沿着医学院的财政支持（目前为30万美元/年），确保了COBRE第二个五年期结束后核心的持续生存能力。
