Service Projects
Service Projects (SPs) are interactions through which our Center makes cutting edge technologies available to outside investigators. The biomedical imaging technologies we provide to our SP partners are unique and not avialable anywhere else. As defined by the NIH, Service Projects "generally exploit the more mature capabilities" of Centers like ours, and, in contrast to Collaborative Projects, "do not drive the development of new technologies or devices" at the Center.
Our Center is currently engaged in 62 Service Projects with investigators and clinicians at 35 distinct institutions in 8 countries on 3 continents.
