The scope of this grant is to support key research services which are utilized by many research programs at the Institute. These services are Animal Care Facilities, Instrument Shop, Computer Unit, Electronics Shop, Research Secretarial, and Laboratory Technical. They are all operated at an institutional level where they are the most efficient, thus obviating the need for duplication of these services for each research program. For the coming year, slight changes will be made in the operation of some of the services to make them even more supporting of the research.
