How can an investigator know the capabilities of Cores to be supported by the consortium?
Since the Cores will not be selected until during the planning year, investigators will not know the specific capabilities of the Cores at the time of application. The applications instead should describe the Core services needed and expect that the services will be available through the consortium if the application is funded. Keep in mind that the principal investigators will serve on the Steering Committees and will have a role in determining which Cores that consortia require.
