These fifteen cores were selected based on merit from twenty-four applicant cores by the IRCP Oversight committee. The merit criteria included alignment and contribution to UAB’s research mission, access to cutting-edge technology and/or specialized expertise represented in the services of the core, and core leadership. The IRCP growth to fifteen supported cores is a 36% increase in comparison to the previous year.
