Mission

Core Technologies (CT) includes ERRC's Research Data Systems (RDS), Scientific Information Resources (SIR), Microscopic Imaging (MI), Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), and Integrated Biomolecular Resources (IBR) units.  The CT provides ERRC research scientists accessibility to modern research instrumentation, sophisticated research data processing methodologies, and contemporary electronic research information resources.  The CT is funded by Shared Research Cost (SRC) since it benefits all of ERRC's CRIS projects.  This assures proper planning and sufficient funds to meet commitments in multidisciplinary research provided to optimize all programs.  The RDS, MI, MRS and IBR are coordinated by Lead Scientists, and SIR by and Administrative Librarian, to assure that ERRC scientists and engineers needs are met, priorities properly set and research problems resolved.  The overall operation of the CT is supervised by an assigned Research Leader for the Center Director.
