Hi Cytocore and Cytometry list..... My boss has just asked if I would make a proposal to operate our core differently, not on a hourly basis, but by charging the main users by the month. We do need more funding, but I'm not convinced that is the best way to secure it. Has anyone done this? What have you found to be the caveats or successes of this type of funding support? How did you handle occasional users or new users? How did you decide how much to charge the different main users? by percentage of use or everyone the same? Do you have other institutional support for instrumentation or are you expect to recoup 100% of operating budget by your fees? Have you tried hourly and found this better?? I am just full of questions. If you don't mind, answer to the list so we can all benefit. Use the same subject so we can follow the thread..... and thanks for your input.
