Administrative Core

PROJECT SUMMARY – ADMINISTRATIVE CORE The Vision Research Core Grant (VRCG) includes five Cores (Software Engineering Core, Molecular Construct and Packaging Core, Microscopy and Tissue Processing Core, Small Animal Ocular Imaging Core, and Large Animal Core) that provide services to meet the specific needs of a substantial cohort of NEI-funded vision researchers at UC Davis. The Administrative Core ensures that these five Service Cores are run efficiently and shared equitably among the Vision Research Core Grant participating investigators. The Administrative Core communicates and coordinates VRCG services for maximum use, and it provides strategic plans to meet the evolving needs of participating investigators. The Administrative Core also includes an evaluation plan to assess Core impact and to promote continuous quality improvement.
