Oversight Committee Function

Director of University Shared Resources

The Director will lead the oversight, evaluation, and long-range planning of University Shared Resources and serves as the central contact for shared resources at OHSU. The Director serves as a liaison for fiscal issues between research cores and Central Financial Services, working closely with the RDA Director of Finance. The Director will serve as an advocate for University Shared Resources within both the university and the community and will guide decisions regarding the maintenance of current research cores, the establishment of new core services, and submission of grants for shared instrumentation. The Director works in close collaboration with the Core Oversight Committee and Core Directors on decisions regarding maintenance, establishment, and fiscal support of University Shared Resources. The Director reports directly to the Vice President for Research.

Core Oversight Committee

The Core Oversight Committee is the deliberative body that assists and advises the Director in the development of policies regarding University Shared Resources. The Committee will conduct annual evaluations of current core facilities. Annual evaluations will ensure that cores meet both scientific and fiscal expectations and continue to add value to the OHSU research community. The Oversight Committee may recommend closure of Shared Resources that do not meet established goals, and may advise investment in new instrumentation and/or new core services that are deemed of sufficient value to the scientific community. The Oversight Committee will also assist in decisions regarding financial support of shared resources. Final decisions regarding closure or establishment of University Shared Resources rest with the Vice President for Research.

The Core Oversight Committee includes membership as follows: the Director of University Shared Resources; at least two current Core Directors; one major user of OHSU Core facilities; one departmental chair or institute director who provides ongoing support for university shared resources; one at-large OHSU faculty member and one current member of the OHSU Research Council. The RDA Director of Finance and one representative from OHSU Corporate Financial Services are non-voting members of the Core Oversight Committee. Members will serve a two-year term and will rotate off such that there is sufficient continuity between years (no more than one-third of membership rotating off in a single year). Additional ad hoc members may be added as needed for temporary terms or special assignments.

The Chair of the Core Oversight Committee and Director of University Shared Resources will submit an annual report to the OHSU Research Council.
