The Research Core Revitalization Program (RCRP) is the third round of an initiative to strengthen campus research core capacities by supporting the upgrade, replacement or duplication of heavily used shared research resources. Shared instruments, equipment and other resources play a critical role in research across the university and typically have a limited lifespan.
Although essential and highly used, these critical resources are not generally eligible or competitive for federal and other external grant programs targeting new capabilities and technologies. Researchers across campus depend on the shared resources managed by cores, and investment in renewing these capabilities ensures the continuity and productivity of our research enterprise.
Here are 6 projects that may interest you that were chosen for funding in Round 3 of the RCRP (2024):
