dollars. The goal is to enhance the capabilities and productivity of research-active faculty. Our Committee is the (life sciences-leaning) Scanning, Imaging, and Analytical Instruments Core group; we are looking for large-equipment (or, newly, thematic core)

that an alternative approach to a single large instrument would be to propose several related smaller pieces of equipment that would be grouped together to constitute an entirely new Core Facility.
