Transcript School of Medicine Shared Resource Facilities

School of Medicine Shared Resource
Facilities
• The School of Medicine provides direct support and
oversight to 21 SOM shared resource facilities.
• Their purpose is to provide investigators within the Penn
community access to scientific services widely required in
the conduct of biomedical research but which are too costly
for individual investigators or departments to bear.
• Oversight is provided by the School of Medicine Research
Core Facilities Committee, which is led by an Associate
Dean for Research Core Facilities.

Reviews and Requests Process
Among the key considerations of the review process:
Determine how
valuable the to the
community, both
now and in the future
Examine how
well the Core is
providingthe
service
Determine
whether the
Service is
affordable to
Penn PIs
Consider ways
to provide
additional
support

Considerations in using Cores for
large projects
•
•
•
•
•
Is there sufficient money budgeted?
Should there be funds for infrastructure?
Does the Core have sufficient capacity?
Can the Core supply necessary supporting
material for grant application?
Is the charge-back scheme compliant?
