Core--University Facilities

描述(由申请人提供)：该EHSC设施核心提供增强和补贴 访问由罗切斯特大学医学中心开发的设施核心。该大学提供了基本建设设备费用以及技术和专业人员费用以及这些核心的维护费用。由于所涉及的成本，仅使用EHSC资源不可能开发这样的核心。所有大学调查人员都可以使用这些中心；然而，通过补贴这些设施或为EHSC成员使用这些设施提供资金，EHSC能够以较低的成本为其教职员工提供访问。此外，这可以在与其他EHSC设施核心相同的操作原则下提供，特别是关于设施核心概述中定义的使用标准。因此，这个核心的目标是为中心成员提供广泛的最先进的技术和方法，这些技术和方法是中心的资金或有限的个人研究拨款无法复制的。大学的核心包括等离子体源质谱学实验室、流式细胞仪/细胞分选核心、电子显微镜成像核心、转基因核心、功能基因组中心、共聚焦显微镜核心和微化学蛋白质/多肽核心。这其中的每一个 CORRES有一名董事和员工为CORE提供支持。

Description (provided by applicant): This EHSC Facilities Core provides enhanced and subsidized access to facility cores that have been developed by the University of Rochester Medical Center. The University has provided both capital equipment costs as well as costs for technical and professional personnel and maintenance for these Cores. Because of the costs involved, such cores would not be possible to develop using only EHSC resources. These cores are accessible to all University investigators; however, by subsidizing these facilities or providing funds for EHSC members to use these facilities, the EHSC is able to provide access for its faculty at a reduced cost. Further, this can be provided under the same operating principles that exist for other EHSC Facility Cores, particularly with respect to criteria for use as defined in the Facility Cores Overview. Thus, the goal of this core is to provide Center members with access to a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies that would not be possible to duplicate with Center funds or with limited individual research grants. The University-based Cores include the Plasma Source Mass Spectroscopy Laboratory, Flow Cytometry/Cell Sorting Core, Electron Microscope Imaging Core, Transgenic Core, Functional Genomics Center, Confocal Microscope Core, and MicroChemical Protein/Peptide Core. Each of these cores has a director and staff to support the core.
