Support Facilities

Research support in the Neuroscience Campus Amsterdam is organized by five research support facilities. Each research Support Facility is organized by two coördinators coming from complementary research groups.

Support Facilities are aimed at one-way research support, thereby serving as core facilities to generate data and provide tissue- or sample-analysis, or generate models (including transgenic mice and cellines) in relation to specific research-project questions. The research project questions are generated, prioritized and argumented (in relation to the overall research program) by the program-committee, c.q. the program-leaders.
The role of research support coordinators is to collect such research-project questions, estimate the feasibility of answering them (with the available facilities within the organization) and make a planning.

Coordinators make a realistic planning per year and per research-question. In case there are more research-project question per year than service available (or support capacity permits), research-project questions are prioritized by the coordinators. Priorization decision are taken ‘common sense’ and only after communication via the MT.
