HCS Core Research Facilities

"The goal of the Cores is to make Technology and expertise available to all faculty members and students."

Oversight Committee

While Dr. Kaplan and Dr. Phillips administer the core facilities, they are overseen by a faculty oversight committee. The committee is composed of members of various departments at the School of Medicine, and meets on average twice a year.

The function of the committee is to evaluate the quality of existing cores, and to recommend both the creation of new cores and the termination of outdated ineffective cores. This is accomplished in part by periodic surveys of faculty needs. The most recent survey was conducted in January 2004. The oversight committee also provides a venue for discussion of the the operation of particular cores, free of conflicts of interest. Recommendations by the oversight committee are transmitted to Dr. Lorris Betz, Vice President/Dean of the Health Science Center.
