CUPC services are divided into four core areas designed to support the research of affiliates and the dissemination of research findings. Each core is described briefly below. Key services available to faculty are library services, secure data facilities, and statistical workshops. CUPC also offers development grants to CUPC affiliates.

The Administrative Core

Provides crucial services to all affiliates, including administrative, bibliographic, and grants management support for research projects.

The Information Core

Broadens access to information for affiliates, increases awareness of center activities, and disseminate research findings.

The Development Core

Provides crucial developmental seed awards to allow researchers – particularly junior affiliates – to move into new research areas and complete preliminary studies needed for funding of larger projects.

The Statistics and Computing Core

Creates a computing and technology environment necessary for handling large and complex data sets and coordinates the use of affiliate expertise for statistical training and consultation.
