Fee Schedule

The fee schedule will be reviewed annually. As an incentive for CCRD core use, there will be peer-reviewed small project competitions and awards for core use open to the entire community on a periodic basis.

The charges have been calculated to be the minimal necessary to support the core’s quality control and maintenance and are extremely competitive relative to outside services. Rhode Island Hospital COBRE includes the COBRE-supported investigators, pilot project investigators, their research staff and trainees.

Other core services in immuno-histochemistry and automated slide staining for nonradioactive in situ hybridization and antibody staining will be announced shortly.

In addition to the above services, sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue microarrays for mixed and selected human tumor types are available, as well as frozen tumor bank tissue. Tissue bank and tissue microarray use require IRB approval and an initial consultation with the pathologist to assess experimental needs and applicable fees or collaborative arrangements.
