    Center for Open Research Resources and Equipment (COR²E)

    Core research facilities provide highly specialized services, equipment, and staff that would otherwise be too expensive for a single laboratory or department to maintain. A variety of research cores are available to UConn faculty, including those housed in the Center for Open Research Resources and Equipment (COR²E).
