Jane,

We are beginning to wrestle with this issue too.  Actually, I think we
should be addressing it, but I am in the minority so far.  Will you please
share responses.

Subject: Core Facilities

Here's a new topic (I think) for the list.  We are looking at how we might
better manage our existing core research facilities and develop guidelines
for establishing new ones.  By core research facility, I mean a facility
that provides support to many researchers on your campus.  The classic core
research facility is the animal facility.  But I am not really interested in
how you finance and manage that.  What I am interested in is how you
identify, finance, and manage your other core facilities such as protein
structure cores or DNA sequencing cores or microscopy cores.  Do you have
definitions of what consistututes a core facility; how are they typically
managed. how are they typically financed.  Any other guidelines or
policies/procedures you might have.  Just a website address would even help.

Thanks.

Jane
