In the final proposal for the CTSA grant submitted by Craig McClain and colleagues, the EVPR and Deans have agreed that a small faculty committee should evaluate faculty requests for new Equipment Cores for Institutional prioritization. To that end, we have established a website for UofL faculty to input your opinion about new cutting edge equipment that the HSC and UofL Researchers need access to.

Please take a moment to provide your thoughts about new pieces of equipment that are required to maintain cutting edge research. We are looking for items that could be obtained with partial support from the S10 equipment grant or VA equipment grant programs. You can also assist if you provide information about the best P.I. available at UofL for such equipment grants to us. We ask that you complete this survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KX2W6X6 .

If you have any questions, please contact the HSC Research Office at 852-7794 or by sending an email to: hscro@louisville.edu.

Looking forward to seeing your input on this important issue!
