Current grants listing.

OUHSC treats all aspects of sponsored programs administration consistently, regardless of funding source. Therefore, pursuant to federal regulations, the OUHSC faculty and staff may not have total effort commitments (sponsored and non-sponsored) in excess of 100%. Faculty or staff who have University responsibilities in addition to those committed on sponsored programs, including but not limited to teaching, administration or clinical activities, must reserve the appropriate amount of effort as agreed upon with the Department Chair and/or Dean for those commitments and, therefore, may not commit 100% paid or unpaid effort to sponsored grants and/or contracts. Excerpt from NIH Notice: “Commitment overlap occurs when a person's time commitment exceeds 100 percent, whether or not salary support is requested in the application. While information on other support is only requested for key personnel (excluding consultants), no individuals on the project may have commitments in excess of 100 percent.”

The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), which is located on 825 NE 13th St., maintains excellent core facilities for their researchers and also available to OUHSC researchers. Additional links and pricing information can be obtained from their website.

BIACORE

The BIACORE is an optical biosensor that uses surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) for real-time monitoring of macromolecular interactions. Potential applications including affinity measurements and binding kinetics, concentration determinations, binding specificity analyses, and epitope mapping. The OMRF BIOCORE Core Facility has two BIOCORE units: A Biacore 1000 and a Biacore 3000. The core facility provides training in the use of the instruments, and assistance with experimental planning and data analysis when needed.

The university has a centralized animal care facility under the direction of a DVM and a full staff.
