Leverage state-of-the-art core facilities and shared resources at UNMC.

We truly believe in team science, the shared success from collaborations and a multi-discipline approach, demonstrated by our long history of external partnerships.

Our cores and shared resources exemplify this mindset with advanced expertise and cutting-edge instrumentation that are ready to support you and your research. Specialization, innovation, compliance, collaboration and transparent communication ensure projects flourish in an environment championing scientific excellence.

What is a Core?

Core Facilities, also known as service centers, are organizational units providing goods or services to users principally within the UNMC academic and administrative community for a calculated fee.

A limited number of institutional core facilities are managed by the office of the Vice Chancellor for Research while many others are managed as part of departmental infrastructure or under program projects.
VCR managed core facilities are required to utilize the UNMC Research Administration (RA) Core Facility Management System to meet the financial compliance standards stated in UNMC Policy #6107 (Service Centers).
Their immediate oversight is managed by the Assistant Vice Chancellor of Research Resources.

UNMC cores and shared resources are here to enhance your research projects and drive your scientific journey forward. Explore why our facilities are the optimal choice for your research needs.
