text: Research Strategy. In the "Research Strategy", the applicant must include the description of these cores, the services to be rendered, the methodological approaches to be used, and a plan for prioritizing the use of the facility by Center members. This section must clearly present the facilities, techniques, and professional skills that the core will provide. As justification for the core, briefly indicate the specific Research Projects that will use the resources of the core. Be certain to reference relevant tables (e.g. "Table of Research Support Core Utilization," described above). A Research Support Core is principally designed as a service or resource component; it would be highly unusual to include research in a core (a possible exception would be methodology development). Describe the role of the core as a resource to the Center as a whole. Discuss ways in which these centralized services will produce an economy of effort and/or savings in overall costs compared to their inclusion as part of each project in the Center.
  Progress Report for Renewal/Resubmissions Applications. For renewals, summarize activities carried out during the preceding performance period. Include core utilization by the individual Research Projects.
