The mission of the Office of the Vice President for Research is to support a rigorous program of faculty and student research and creative accomplishment by enhancing the environment for scholarly and artistic endeavors, encouraging the highest standards of quality, and fostering ethical conduct in research. As part of the mission of OVPR, CORES (Core Services) was developed with the goal of support and encourage research at Penn State. CORES is dedicated to providing Penn State’s research community with access to our research core facilities and services.

Currently CORES supports the management and implementation of the Agilent iLab Core Facility Management system for the various shared resource and service facilities in Penn State’s research community.

Please continue to check back with us as we develop more services to support research here at Penn State!
