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.
As part of this mission, Penn State offers research cores the opportunity to utilize the Agilent iLab Core Facility Management system. Agilent’s iLab system provides our cores and core users with a web-based scheduling, ordering, and billing system to provide ease of access to state-of-the-art instrumentation, services, and expert staff.
