Our state-of-the-art core facilities provide comprehensive research support and offer services in a variety of areas.

The Administrative Core provides overall governance and ensures that the COBRE projects and cores work together in a cohesive and coordinated manner. All projects and cores utilize the Administrative Core. The Administrative Core provides a formalized governance structure and provides formalized processes for replacing key personnel. In addition, the Administrative Core houses the biostatistical support for the COBRE and the Pilot Program for the COBRE.
