You can apply the funds to pay for Fabrication, Characterization, and Testing (FaCT) Core resources. The COBRE offers FaCT core use at a reduced cost, and its resources are available to all researchers across the university and region whether or not you use voucher funding.
Key Application Requirements
Projects must align to the CEBS COBRE theme and include a quote from the manager of the primary facility you intend to use (list below).
