Information for Existing Core Facilities
Research core facilities are important to the Rutgers research enterprise. If run well, they can provide a great service to enhance the research done by principal investigators.
iLab - Research Core Administrative Software
iLab is the administrative software managed by the Office for Research and used by research cores to process service requests, collect payments, and review reports on core activities. All research core facilities can be set up to use iLab by e-mailing cores@research.rutgers.edu.
Biennial Research Core Review
Biennial research core reviews are performed by the Office for Research and University Finance and Administration. All research core facility directors will receive an e-mail six months before their review materials are due as a reminder. See below for core facility requirements.
