The Core Facility Management acts as an interface between the Core Facilities, scientists and the Faculty administration to ensure accessibility, visibility, transparency, and financial sustainability of research core facilities at the Medical Faculty of Ulm University.

We are the central contact point for all interested parties regarding the range of services and equipment available at the Core Facilities.

Our main fields of activity are:

• Organisation & communication
• Finances & accounting of CF usage
• Administration & support with the booking software
• Concept development
• Networking and external representation

Acknowledging the usage of our Core Facilities in your publications is a critical and important key indicator to us and the University. It helps our scientists grow and apply for funding, in order to offer you highest expertise and state-of-the-art research infrastructure for your projects. Users of the Core Facilities of the Medical Faculty are therefore obligated to acknowledge the facility in formal publications and presentations, which include data generated in the facility. We also appreciate receiving reprints or PDFs of such publications to use in our yearly reports.

Important note: If the Core Facility has made a significant scientific contribution to your research project (e.g. method development, design of new experimental set-ups or experiments, advanced data interpretation, etc.), co-authorship in the publication is justified.
 

In accordance with the DFG recommendations (section 13.1) we kindly ask you to use the following phrase to acknowledge your usage of the instrumentation and/or support of a core facility. The phrase can of course be extended with specific services used within the core facility.
