CoresRI (https://coresri.apps.brown.edu/) is a collaborative effort across RI, hosted by Brown University, which provides a searchable, updated directory of core research facilities, services, and instrumentation available to Rhode Island researchers.
Renovation of Space If, in order to meet the requirements associated with a grant submission, a space renovation for a PI’s existing space or shared core facility is required, the Facilities Group needs to be contacted prior to the submission of the grant application, to properly identify the cost and schedule of any proposed renovations. To begin this process, please submit a work request at web.uri.edu/facilities/work-order-request-form/
The Office of Space Allocation and Analysis (OSAA) manages the university space request process. If a grant proposal will require additional space, coordinate with OSAA early in the proposal planning process. OSAA is also responsible for space data for university facilities at all four campuses and off campus locations. OSAA can provide floorplans, square footage, and related spatial data for offices, laboratories, classrooms, and support spaces. Additionally, OSAA can assist with boundaries, acreage, location data, and associated attributes for university properties and outdoor locations. Contact Jeff Ulricksen, Manager, Space Allocation and Analysis (julricksen@uri.edu) for assistance with spatial data for grant applications or reporting.
Research Collaboration Agreements are agreements covering an unfunded collaboration where both URI and the other party are contributing to the performance of a research scope of work. This can be with a for-profit, non-profit or academic entity. These agreements are processed through the URI Office of Sponsored Projects. Contact: Elizabeth Buchanan, AVP Research Administration (elizabeth.buchanan@uri.edu).
Planning and Real Estate Development manages the real estate portfolio for the university. If a third-party collaborator for a grant proposal will require the use of university facilities, subsequent to the execution of a Research Collaboration Agreement, a Facilities Use and License agreement must be in place before the collaborator can occupy the space. Contact Dulcie Ilgenfritz, Coordinator, Planning and Real Estate Development (dilgenfritz@uri.edu) for assistance.
Property and Support Services is responsible for the management and oversight of $128 million in moveable assets for the University. This inventory includes assets above five thousand dollars which translates into equipment for research, grants and both state and federal jurisdictions. This equipment is located across URI’s campuses as well as remote locations globally.
Additionally, Property and Support Services provides support for Centralized Warehouse and Receiving, which is dedicated for packages and deliveries to support the University’s infrastructure. Both Mail and Printing Services are available as other support services. Please contact Jeffrey Wosencroft, Director of Property & Support Services at (j_wosencroft@uri.edu) for assistance.
