How to Establish a Research Core at FAU

A research core is a shared facility that gives investigators access to equipment, tools, technologies and services needed for scientific and clinical inquiries.

• Schedule a meeting with a representative from the FAU Research Cores Program ( ResearchCores@ganwinpo.com ) to present the research core proposal and develop a strategy.
• Complete an application, business plan and rate calculation using the Research Cores Program templates.
• Get preliminary approval for your proposed core business plan and rates worksheet from the Research Cores Oversight Committee (RCOC).
• Obtain approval from the Vice President for Research.
• Acquire final authorization from the RCOC.
