Core Visualization Project

10/9/2017Core Visualization: Report2

Problem: Researchers are not aware of all the resources provided by

cores or cores themselves. This can lead to duplication of resources and

under use of cores.

Goal: Increase the visibility of core resources

Old business: The topic of last year’s Core Leadership Retreat.

We discussed ways to improve the visibility of cores and core resources.

Faculty Handbook for Success

“Separately, UCSF Cores and shared laboratories provide

researchers with essential resources to promote scientific

discovery. These include access to state-of-the-art

technology; services for basic, translational and clinical

research; and expert advice on experiment design,

protocol development, and the analysis of results. The

Research Resource Program helps researchers navigate

this landscape with a search tool and “map” to core

functions. In addition, the Research Resource Program

offers planning, operational, and financial services,

including a grant for equipment purchases, to support the

development and management of cores.”
