We provide operational support for UNC-Chapel Hill's core lab facilities.

Recharge Services

We provide hands on assistance with set up of new recharge accounts including developing appropriate and compliant rate structures as well as revising rates for existing core facilities.

We work closely with the Cost Compliance and Analysis Office within the UNC Office of Sponsored Research on approval for recharge rates and other compliance issues.

Life Cycle Events

Core administrators can request consultation and assistance on managing core life cycle events such as expansion, consolidation and sunsetting.

Training

Guidelines documents and training materials are available through the UNC core facilities website resource area.

Funding

The Core Facilities Advocacy Committee (CFAC) works with core directors to evaluate and recommend upgrading of technology and to ensure high-quality services and user satisfaction. The committee distributes Requests for Funding Applications several times a year, reviews funding requests and makes recommendations to the Vice Dean for Research.

Expenditures for core facilities can include one-time funding for equipment purchases, emergency repairs and maintenance, method development for new recharge services, and other operational needs.

For Core Facilities funding opportunities, contact CFAC.
