Modern cancer research depends on expensive, specialized instruments and expert staff that no single lab could afford alone. Shared core facilities pool these resources so that many investigators can analyze cells, read genomes, image tissue and design studies.

What they work on
- Coordinate seven cancer center shared services, including Flow Cytometry, Genomics, Imaging and Biostatistics, alongside the medical school's core facilities so that services are not duplicated.
- Gather user feedback on each shared service through Faculty Oversight Committees that meet twice a year, user surveys and web-based feedback, and use it to improve the services.
- Guide strategic planning with service directors, users and leadership to choose new technologies and decide how to purchase new instruments.
More about the research
This grant supports the management of such shared services at a university cancer center. It is an administrative and infrastructure effort, not a hypothesis-driven research project.
Why it matters
Well-run shared facilities give cancer researchers access to genomics, imaging, cell analysis, tissue banking and statistics support they could not maintain alone. According to the grant, this speeds up research in cancer biology, population science and clinical trials, with the goal of enabling discoveries that lead to new diagnostics and therapies for patients in the cancer center's region.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
