Description
Brown University’s Core Research Facility (CRF) Infrastructure Program supports the development of specialized core research facilities and the maintenance of their equipment. Administered by the Division of Research, the program invests in the shared facilities and instruments that enable research programs at Brown and provide essential technical capabilities to local and regional investigators.
Core research facilities help Brown compete for external grant funding, attract faculty members, students and postdoctoral researchers, and facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration. The program focuses on sustaining this research infrastructure rather than funding a particular scientific field or an individual research project. The 2027 program is open to directors of existing, approved core facilities that support research at Brown.
