This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Centralized Research Core Facility is in its third year of providing research and training support to the RI-INBRE members and the Rhode Island biomedical research community. A vacant research associate position has recently been filled. During the past year, more than 20 research groups used the Facility, with an average frequency of 400 usages per quarter. Besides the faculty, the users included 14 postdoctoral fellows, 40 graduate students, and 23 undergraduate students. The new users were trained in utilizing various technologies for their research projects. Utilizing the Core Facility, the Facility staff also participated in teaching undergraduate and graduate laboratory courses offered by the College of Pharmacy. Several instructional and training seminars were organized in collaboration with instrument manufacturers, such as Real-Time PCR and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectrometry. To set up a new gene transfection facility, equipment has been acquired, consisting of incubator, shaking incubator, PCR, and horizontal gel electrophoresis system. In addition, the existing inverted microscope will be upgraded for digital image processing. Other equipment and software packages acquired this year include: a NanoDrop fluorospectrometer, a rotary evaporator, and Rosetta Resolver software for the DNA microarray system. The Core Facility equipment and it's resources continue to be made available to researchers from all Rhode Island academic and research institutions, without paying any user fees. As of February 2006, the printing service has already printed about 200 posters this year for investigators from the member institutions. In April 2006, a one-day workshop on flow cytometry is scheduled. Like the previous instructional workshops, this workshop will be open to students and investigators from all RI-INBRE partner institutions.

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中出现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。集中研究核心设施已进入第三个年头，为 RI-INBRE 成员和罗德岛生物医学研究界提供研究和培训支持。最近填补了一个空缺的副研究员职位。去年，超过 20 个研究小组使用了该设施，平均每季度使用 400 次。除教师外，用户还包括 14 名博士后、40 名研究生和 23 名本科生。新用户接受了如何利用各种技术进行研究项目的培训。利用核心设施，该设施的工作人员还参与了药学院提供的本科生和研究生实验室课程的教学。与实时 PCR 和傅里叶变换红外光谱仪等仪器制造商合作组织了多次教学和培训研讨会。为了建立新的基因转染设施，购买了设备，包括培养箱、振荡培养箱、PCR、水平凝胶电泳系统。此外，现有的倒置显微镜将进行数字图像处理升级。今年购买的其他设备和软件包包括：NanoDrop 荧光光谱仪、旋转蒸发仪和用于 DNA 微阵列系统的 Rosetta Resolver 软件。核心设施设备及其资源继续向罗德岛州所有学术和研究机构的研究人员开放，无需支付任何使用费。截至2006年2月，印刷服务机构今年已为成员机构的调查人员印刷了约200张海报。 2006 年 4 月，计划举办为期一天的流式细胞术研讨会。与之前的教学研讨会一样，本次研讨会将向所有 RI-INBRE 合作机构的学生和研究人员开放。
