What is a Research Core? Establish a Research Core Add Equipment and Services How to Use Research Cores
Research Cores
Our mission is to provide researchers the resources and expertise they need to excel in their research endeavors to help make FAU a leading research University in the country.
Biostatistics Collaborative Core
The Biostatistics Collaborative Core provides investigators with biostatistics support, including statistical analyses, interpreting data results and project management to ensure the integrity of data collection.
Advanced Cell Imaging Core
The Advanced Cell Imaging Core offers investigators a range of resources and services such as imaging services, advanced light microscopy equipment, imaging software and data analysis workstations.
Clinical Research Unit
The Clinical Research Unit gives researchers access to resources and services such as exam rooms, data collection, help with Institutional Review Board submissions and advice on study design and feasibility.
Comparative Medicine
The Comparative Medicine (CM) unit is responsible for the humane and ethical care of research animals. CM services include a veterinarian, housing and experimental space, equipment and animal research training.
Engineering & Technology Core
The Engineering and Technology Core offers applied project support, including project management, equipment rental, tool procurement, assembly and fabrication and data collection.
Neurobehavior Core
The Neurobehavior Core provides testing rooms, software and data analysis, and expert consultation for understanding the phenotypes and selecting behaviors relevant to animal models for behavioral research.
Water Analysis Lab (WAL)
The Water Analysis Lab provides instruments for detecting nutrients, major ions, metals and stable isotopes, executing basic soil analyses and analyzing some industrial waste materials.
MRI & Human Imaging
Florida Atlantic University has established a new MRI research center featuring a GE 3T Premier MRI scanner. This state-of-the-art equipment is located within the FAU Division of Research on the Boca Raton campus.
Research Cores are a Valuable Resource:
- For new PIs with limited funding
- To access specialized technical knowledge
- To reduce duplication of expensive equipment purchases
- To help recover funds for replacement of obsolete or broken-down equipment
- To strengthen grant applications by offering techniques and resources not normally available in a PI’s laboratory.
