## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
 Established within the Sanford Research in 2011 as a part of NIH COBRE-supported (1P20RR024219-
01A2 grant) Cancer Biology Research Center, the Flow Cytometry Core maintains and supports numerous
flow cytometric units designed to perform multiple cell phenotyping and characterization analyses, as well as to
execute cell sorting/separation protocols. The Core delivers to its users a variety of modern flow cytometry
applications and analyses. The Core also houses data analysis stations with software suits such as CellQuest,
FlowJo and others, and offers comprehensive training on all its equipment. The Core is currently additionally
supported by Sanford Research, and actively assists with the projects facilitated by Cancer Biology Research
Center Project Leaders, other Sanford Research faculty, and by principle investigators from neighboring
institutions.
 With Sanford Research's strong commitment to excellence in biomedical research and a consequent
growth in research laboratories, the demand for Flow Cytometry Core services has exponentially growing over
the last several years. As Sanford Research continues to expand into areas of basic biomedical sciences, so
does our need for the state-of-the-art flow cytometry capabilities. The objective of the current application is
to secure the continuation of the Core's operations, to augment and enhance Core's capabilities, while
providing continuous support of the Cancer Biology Research Center. Accordingly, we propose that the
Flow Cytometry Core will continue delivering quality services to all five Project Leaders of the current COBRE
renewal proposal, as well as other investigators at Sanford Research, and neighboring institutions. We also
intent to develop a fee-for service structure, providing for Core's self-sustainability at the end of the grant
support. To achieve the above-stated objective, the following Specific Aims are proposed:
1. To continue support the flow cytometric needs of the COBRE Project Leaders and Sanford Research
faculty. The Flow Cytometry Core provides investigators with on-site flow cytometry services and support,
decreasing hands-on time and allowing for direct communication between investigators and Core staff.
2. To educate on novel applications; assist with efficient experimental design; help with manuscript
preparation, and funding applications. Core staff personally interacts with investigators and their lab staff on all
above subjects.
3. To enhance the Flow Cytometry Core infrastructure. The Flow Cytometry Core will add to its staff a new
Postdoctoral Fellow who will be responsible for the direct methodological development, and implementation of
flow cytometry-based experimental strategies pertinent to the specific research plans of COBRE Project
Leaders, as well as for monitoring and implementing a new developments in flow cytometric methoodology.
4. To create a sustainable Flow Cytometry Core. Jointly with Sanford Research Shared Resources Committee
