Research Cores are a Valuable Resource:

For new PIs with limited funding
To access specialized technical knowledge
To reduce duplication of expensive equipment purchases
To help recover funds for replacement of obsolete or broken-down equipment
To strengthen grant applications by offering techniques and resources not normally available in a PI’s laboratory.
