Hi everyone!
We're a research histopathology core that inherited a facility full of well-loved, but aging, equipment. We're eager to begin replacing key instruments, but unfortunately, we can't rely on departmental support to fund these upgrades.
We'd love to hear from this amazing community:
How are you approaching the financing of new equipment in your core facility?
Have you found any creative or even fun strategies to secure funding?
And thinking more broadly: are there alternative financial models or recharge strategies that have helped make your core more financially sustainable?
Thanks in advance for your insights, we really appreciate the collective wisdom here!
