Harvard Clinical Nutrition Research Center
Biomedical Core
Facilities
The biomedical core program has been a central feature of the HCNRC. These core resources have been developed to accomplish these goals:
- to support the research activities of the center investigators to promote the understanding of nutrition research;
- stimulate new collaborations and interactions.
- support P/F recipients
In meeting the second goal, the Biomedical Cores have led to projects, which would not be undertaken, if the cores were not available. The configuration of Biomedical Cores has been organized to complement the research interests of the HCNRC investigators, to support pilot/feasibility projects, and to promote research in areas of recognized priority in advancing the understanding of clinical nutrition research. Finally, this core format serves to maximize the utilization of resources unique to this center and take advantage of resources from other Centers already in existence at MGH and at affiliate institutions.
Four Biomedical Cores exist within the HCNRC. These include:
These cores are available to HCNRC investigators and associate investigators and for pilot feasibility recipients. The Biostatistics Core continues to be administratively combined with the Administrative Core.
Core services are available for all Center Investigators, Associate Investigators, and current Pilot Feasibility recipients.
