Posts in Core Administrators Network Forum: ABRF Discussion Forums

At MD Anderson we primarily have core directors appointed to tenure or research
track faculty positions, although we do have some core directors who are
non-faculty.

ABRF has had some very good presentations on career track and advancement at
their national meetings.  On this list serve, the topic has come up before.
Some institutions do a wonderful job of having a career ladder for core
directors and personnel.

Hi All,

I am working on some issues that have recently came up regarding the
classification of staff within core facilities at our institution.
Specifically, our HR group has begun to realign facility directors/managers as
admin track managers instead of research associates.  So, I had a couple of
questions:

1.) Are scientific core managers currently classed as admin/managerial staff at
your universities?

2.) If not, are there plans to transition to that?

Hi Jon,
Our facility directors and managers are appointed into research tracks:
non-faculty or faculty, or scientific director or lab manager.
Thanks,

Hi Chris,

Looks like the folks at OHSU and UNMC might have you covered. If you need
anything further, our Core at the Cleveland Clinic can also help. We do
automated processing.

Best,
Judy

Chris,

Terri Drake here from Alfred University.  Chris Bond is no longer with us, but
I monitor his old inbox for important items.
I have sent this email request along to those at our institution that I think
might be able to assist.  Should someone reply to me, I will let you know.

can be of assistance! I’ll leave it to the two of you to discuss further.

Hi Everyone,

I have gotten a few emails with questions about the Satellite Workshop
guidelines as of late. They are a bit different this year with reason.  If you
have questions or would like to have a discussion about this years process
please don't hesitate to reach out to me.  I am leading this part of the effort
as a Edcomm member for Palm Springs in 2020.

Just reach out and let me know if you have questions.  Most of my responses
have been very helpful to those interested in applying.  I always have an open
door to discussions, opinions, comments, everything.

Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Sarah,

Our core directors are faculty members (nontenured) and teach a number of
courses at NYU Langone.  As such, their teaching effort hours are “credited” to
fulfill faculty teaching requirements, and represent 10% minimum.  We do
recover costs associated with labs, practcums

Regards,
Sheenah

Hi Sarah - in the US, we have some constraints on how we cover costs in
recharge centers (core facilities). If the manager’s salary is completely
covered by user fees, then teaching is not allowed. Consequently, the
institution pays a portion of their salary if teaching is expected (typically
10% per course). Same arrangement if we want to use the facility for teaching
purposes (e.g. lab exercises), I.e. the institution pays. The latter can be a
negotiated rate that applies to educational use of the facility, but it cannot
be free as this would mean research dollars are subsidizing education. Hope
this is helpful. Phil Hockberger, Northwestern University

Hi all,

Some of the core research facilities at my Faculty are located within teaching
schools, and provide a cost-recovered service to researchers within that
school. Sometimes the facility managers are asked to undertake some of the
undergraduate teaching, either through lectures, or by running practical lab
classes. In some cases, the cost of the activity is recovered by the core, but
more often than not, the teaching is provided for free, as it is a requirement
of the (non-academic) staff member whose position is supported by the school.
Is anyone else in the same situation at their institution? Do managers cost
recover any of this time? Or does it tend to be an expectation that comes with
the position?
Any advice gratefully received,

Thanks,
Sarah

We are located at 117 King Street New Bedford Ma.

If you are interested and willing to donate your surplus, reply to this
message.

Thank You.

Best Regards,
-Edmaila

We are a non-profit, but a bit different. We are not looking for cash donations
(but always welcomed). We are looking to solve your problems (space and
surplus) and convert this into funding for our organization.

It can be anything really. From shutting down a lab, to a bunch of toner, to a
printer that died, to a machine you just no longer need.

Just reach out, we will come collect it, take it out of your way, and give you
a tax donation certificate.

I look forward to working with you.

Colleagues –
Does anyone have a practice/guideline/policy on space allocation for shared
research facilities (cores) in new or newly renovated space?  I know that the
University of Chicago has an informal rule of thumb that in general, 10% that
of net square footage of research space should be available for shared research
facilities.  If anyone else has an approach, I’d be interested in hearing about
it.
All the best,
Julie

If you have not reviewed these FAQs before, I encourage you to take a look. I
believe some of your questions are addressed, at least in part, here:

Subject: [core administrators network forum] Rate Setting Ideas

Good afternoon,

We're trying to find a way to provide for different rates for training
activities, where budgets can be significantly lower, and for unassisted
activities (where rates do not use an analyst directly). This is a challenge,
as we want to encourage use of our assisted rates, but not all projects will
use.

1) Is it possible for a training rate to be based on only a few of the direct
expenses? (For example, we would not include administrative salary costs in the
creation of training rate).

2) Is it appropriate and acceptable to use percent effort for unassisted rates
to justify usage, as using certain systems per hour would not be practical for
use of a computing system.

3) Alternatively, could we have a system where if assisted rates are used, that
we charge a flat rate for additional "unassisted users" to the system for the
same project?

Thank you!
Matt
