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 Common Instrumentation Area and Services Unit (CIAS) has the objective of providing the investigators at UCC with the major equipment and services that are needed for developing and executing high quality research projects. There are over 25 very active investigators (many with projects funded by RCMI, SNRP, MBRS, DOD, INBRE and CNS) who rely heavily on this core facility. The CIAS houses instrumentation such as high speed and ultra-centrifuges, a gel documentation system, a scintillation counter, a gamma counter, water distillers and ice machines that are not available elsewhere at the University and therefore, the CIAS fosters equipment sharing and centralizes maintenance of equipment. In addition, the CIAS provides a common cell culture room for new and established investigators who do not have the facilities in their own laboratories and as a backup facility for investigators with cell culture hoods and incubators. Under the umbrella of the CIAS, there is a machine shop and an electronics workshop. These workshops are maintained by two technicians who are dedicated to fulfilling the needs of the scientific community at UCC. In this proposal, we request funding to continue to conserve and upgrade the existing facilities and resources initially funded by RCMI including the common instrumentation, the electronics shop and the machine shop. The following specific aims form the basis of our plan to maintain, fortify and expand our infrastructure for scientific research. Aim #1: to provide UCC faculty with the necessary equipment to be productive researchers. Aim #2: to update the existing instrumentation. Aim #3: to develop an equipment calibration service Aim #4: to continue the electronics workshop and precision machine/carpentry shop components. Aim #5: to continue the Facilities Monitoring System (FMS).

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 通用仪器领域和服务部门 (CIAS) 的目标是为 UCC 的研究人员提供开发和执行高质量研究项目所需的主要设备和服务。 有超过 25 名非常活跃的研究人员（其中许多项目由 RCMI、SNRP、MBRS、DOD、INBRE 和 CNS 资助）严重依赖这一核心设施。 CIAS 拥有大学其他地方没有的高速和超速离心机、凝胶记录系统、闪烁计数器、伽马计数器、蒸馏水机和制冰机等仪器，因此，CIAS 促进设备共享并集中设备维护。此外，CIAS 还为自己实验室中没有设施的新研究者和已建立的研究者提供了一个公共细胞培养室，并为拥有细胞培养罩和培养箱的研究者提供了备用设施。 CIAS 旗下设有机械车间和电子车间。这些研讨会由两名技术人员维护，他们致力于满足 UCC 科学界的需求。在本提案中，我们请求资金继续保存和升级最初由 RCMI 资助的现有设施和资源，包括通用仪器、电子车间和机械车间。 以下具体目标构成了我们维持、加强和扩大科学研究基础设施计划的基础。 目标 1：为 UCC 教员提供成为高效研究人员所需的设备。 目标#2：更新现有仪器。 目标#3：开发设备校准服务 目标#4：继续发展电子车间和精密机械/木工车间组件。 目标#5：继续实施设施监控系统（FMS）。
