The Research Core Revitalization Program (RCRP) is the second round of an initiative to strengthen campus research core capacities by supporting the upgrade, replacement or duplication of heavily used shared research resources. Shared instruments, equipment and other resources play a critical role in the research enterprise and typically have a limited lifespan. Although essential and highly used, these critical resources may not be eligible or competitive for federal and other external grant programs targeting new capabilities and technologies. Researchers across campus depend on the shared resources managed by cores, and reinvestment in these capabilities ensures continuity and productivity of our research enterprise.

Here are the 12 projects chosen for funding in Round 2 of the RCRP (2022):

Acquisition of Innovive Ventilated Racks

Acquisition of nCounter MAX System for Multiplex In Situ Analysis of Nucleic Acids and Proteins

AV Data Core Infrastructure Upgrade for Audiovisual Scanning and Preservation

Next Generation MRI Acquisition at the Lane Neuroimaging Lab

Replacement and Upgrade of Two Aging Instruments for Carbon and Nitrogen Quantification and Isotopic Analysis of Soil, Plant and Animal Materials

Replacement and Upgrade for Workhorse GCMS in the Chemistry Instrument Center for Characterization of Small Molecule Synthesis Products and Side Products

Replacement of the Social Science Computing Cooperative's HPC Cluster with a Multi-purpose SLURM Cluster

Replacement of Transmission Electron Microscopy Elemental Analysis Capability in the Nanoscale Imaging and Analysis Center

Replacement of Workhorse Musical Keyboard Instruments for Research and Performance

Revitalization of Workhorse Fluorescence Microscopes for High-Speed and High-Resolution Imaging

Updating Nanofabrication Lithography Support Systems for Improved Patterning to Facilitate Medical Device, Quantum Device and Nanomaterials Research

Waisman IDD Models Core Confocal Renewal
