At VUMC we have a hybrid model, including centralized services and some cores
that are based in Office of Research. Happy to discuss our approach -
Stay well everyone!

Hi All,
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville is working on re-evaluating our core
facilities governance structure. We are looking to shift from a
semi-decentralized model (cores are "owned" by a department that provides
administrative support through their business office, and is ultimately
responsible for any budget shortfall; The Office of Research provides support
through funding opportunities and advises departments on business practices) to
a more centralized model (Office of Research has direct oversight and supports
operations directly, i.e., a central core facilities office that funds,
manages, and provides administrative services). This is in response to the
University's funding scheme switching to a Budget Allocation Model from a base
incremental budget, with our colleges being supportive of cores remaining
central.
Since this is a departure from how I've previously operated, I was hoping
to reach out to the group to see if anyone has experience with the centralized
model (as described above), and if so, if you might be willing to chat about
your experience.
