Objectives
• Review how CTSI facilitates core use today
• Propose how “Supercores” can enhance research at CTSI member institutions
• Discuss challenges

ATP and Cores
• Be a resource for investigators requiring core services– Help Desk and Liaisons– HUB
• Improve quality of core services

Supercore Concept
Investigators identifies Need
Need assessed:•Equipment•Expertise•Turnaround

Supercore Advantages• Core
– Provide more consistency of activity/ ? More activity– Collaboration / sharing of knowledge– Access to new technologies
• Investigator– Access to different technologies– More timely results
• Institution– Resource allocation savings– Integration with other cores– Negotiating vendor costs

Challenges
• A21 Circular
• Regulation applies to billing for core services on federally funded grants
• Requirement related to accepting indirects on grant
• Charge must not exceed true cost of delivering service

A21 Challenge to Cores
• Don’t meet quota you run at a loss
• Exceed quota have to decrease prices
• No mark-up = no reserves
• No funds for development
• No funds to replace equipment
Cores can’t survive on this model

Maintaining Core in the Black
• Institutional support– Provide base funding to allow development– Replace equipment and handle unexpected costs– Allow to subsidize costs so price to investigator may be less than actual cost of
service
• Find non-federal sources of support– Commercial work

CTSI Challenges to Supercores
• Prices differ among the 4 campuses for similar services
• Difference reflects level of institutional support for a core
• Inter-institutional prices need to balance investment by home institution and ease of use
