Laboratories that analyze the function and/or the phenotype of white blood cells (lymphocytes/leukocytes) comprising the immune system are surveyed and permitted through the Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP).
Permit Category Descriptions are provided.
Laboratories are required to demonstrate compliance with:
The Extramural Grants Administration Program works to further the efforts of the Health Research Science Board (HRSB).
The Extramural Grants Administration Program works to further the efforts of the Spinal Cord Injury Research Board (SCIRB). Each year, approximately 1,100 New York residents suffer traumatic spinal cord injuries joining the nearly 288,000 people living in the United States with paralysis. SCIRB’s mission, since 1998, has been to support neurological spinal cord injury scientific research projects from leading researchers within New York State to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.
The Wadsworth Center provides resources such as reagents, strains, software, etc. that are made available to the scientific community, either free or for a nominal fee.
The primary objectives of the Office of Research & Technology are to support the Wadsworth Center’s exceptionally large breadth of interests and activities in its pursuit of improving public health. The office offers a range of services to facilitate collaborations among investigative programs and to increase extramural research funding.
The office provides technical, organizational and administrative support for grant applications by investigators with a special emphasis on multi-investigator and Center-wide efforts.
The Wadsworth Center maintains extensive scientific core facilities in support of its investigators and their collaborators. These facilities provide expertise and access to specialized equipment and services, advise investigators and help them in using the equipment, and train junior researchers in the latest technologies. Each core is headed by a scientist expert in the core’s particular instrumentation and techniques. Some also provide hands-on training for students and postdocs.
