Up To Arizona Core Network

Old Main

The University of Arizona (UA) is a place without limits — where teaching, research, service, and innovation merge to improve lives in Arizona and beyond. We aren't afraid to ask bigger questions, to get better answers.

Established in 1885, the University of Arizona, the state's super land-grant university with two medical schools, produces graduates who are real-world ready through its 100% Engagement initiative. Recognized as a global leader, the UA is also a leader in research, bringing more than $734 million in research investment each year, and ranking 19th among all public universities in FY 2019. The UA is advancing the frontiers of interdisciplinary scholarship and entrepreneurial partnerships and is a member of the Association of American Universities, the 62 leading public and private research universities. It benefits the state with an estimated economic impact of $8.3 billion annually.

As a leading-edge public research university, we're inspired to explore humanity's most fundamental questions - about science, medicine, the arts, and business. Our faculty includes members of esteemed national academies, Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winners, White House Champions of Change, and celebrated thought leaders in numerous disciplines. We are leading projects that will change how we see the world, such as the OSIRIS-REx mission, which successfully scooped samples from near-Earth asteroid Bennu in 2020.

Core Facilities at The University of Arizona

At The University of Arizona we have a diverse collection of core facilities. These facilities possess technical capabilities cutting across a wide range of disciplines, and are available for use by faculty, students, and scientists in government and industry. Providing the academic and business communities access to the latest hi-tech instrumentation, as well as experienced, professional staff with expertise in designing and conducting experiments and analyzing data. We are confident this site will enable you to find the UA core that will meet your scientific needs.

Mission

Core facilities, research institutes and centers at the University of Arizona play key roles in advancing and maintaining excellence in shared scholarship, and the creation of new knowledge. Core facilities ensure that UA researchers are at the forefront of their fields, and that they have the greatest possible impact:

  1. in answering significant research questions;
  2. in graduate and undergraduate training and education, and;
  3. on economic development, regionally, nationally and internationally.

Core facilities promote synergism and are intended to be places where new cross-­disciplinary collaborations are born. They are often the primary point of contact between UA and companies needing our expertise to answer important research and development questions—a natural outgrowth of the UA's land grant mission. They are shared, highly specialized testbed facilities that offer: 

  • Specialized scientific instruments/equipment for experimental research;
  • Cutting-edge technologies for new product research and development, and;
  • Services including training, education, and expert consultation.

Core facility characteristics

Unique: Capabilities are not available elsewhere on campus and, in many cases, within the region

Enabling: Open to a broad range of research, fostering a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration

Accessible: In centralized locations to make them equally accessible to all users

Sustainable: Generally recover their cost, or a portion thereof, by charging user fees
