Institutional management of core facilities during challenging financial times

Rand Haley. J Biomol Tech. 2011 Dec.

Abstract

The economic downturn is likely to have lasting effects on institutions of higher education, prioritizing proactive institutional leadership and planning. Although by design, core research facilities are more efficient and effective than supporting individual pieces of research equipment, cores can have significant underlying financial requirements and challenges. This paper explores several possible institutional approaches to managing core facilities during challenging financial times.

Keywords: academic medical centers; financial management; organizational efficiency; organizational innovation; organizational objectives; research institutes.
