Responsible Conduct for Research

High-end core facilities and instrumentation in the ASRC, never before available at CUNY, allow scientists to expand the scope and scale of their research endeavors. These facilities are open to students, faculty and staff researchers, as well as government, and industrial partners, regardless of their level of expertise. Facility staff will work with members to help them develop an effective research plan. Novice members are highly encouraged to frequently communicate with the staff during the initial phases of their research.
