HSFL was established in May 2007 within the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) and the College of Engineering (CoE) at the University of Hawaii. As a multidisciplinary research and education center HSFL brings together individuals from diverse areas to work on the exploration and understanding of the space environment. The mission of HSFL is to: * Promote innovative engineering and science research for terrestrial and planetary space missions. * Develop, launch, and operate small spacecraft from the Hawaiian Islands to accelerate the validation of new space technologies. * Provide workforce training in all aspects of unmanned space missions. * Build synergistic collaborations among educational, governmental, and corporate institutions interested in space exploration. Hawaii is located in a unique position to become a low-cost gateway to space and to place the University of Hawaii as the only university in the world to have both satellite fabrication capabilities and unique, direct access to orbital space. This will enable diverse missions that study Earth''s oceans and continents from low-Earth orbit, as well as the testing of engineering experiments in the hostile environment of space.

HURL''s facilities include two deep-diving (2000 m) submersibles Pisces V and Pisces IV, a remotely operated vehicle RCV-150, and the support ship R/V Ka''imikai-o-Kanaloa. The two submersibles are housed and maintained at Makai Pier. HURL Data Archive: HURL provides a data package for each Pisces IV, Pisces V or RCV-150 dive. This package includes voice transcripts (Pisces IV & V only), graphs of environmental data (Pisces IV & V only), copies of videotapes with videologs, and copies of up to 250 slides with a photolog. The Data Archive is the custodian of the original data which remain the property of HURL. Databases of organisms and substrates observed on the dives are available for use by the principal investigator. Use of dive data by other scientists is subject to principal investigator approval for 2 years. HURL and NOAA-NURP reserve the right to use slides and video from dives for program promotion.

The Clinical Protocol and Data Management Shared Resource (CPDM) is a component of the Center?s Clinical Trials Unit that provides central management and oversight of all clinical trials activities of the Center. The Shared Resource provides a range of management and quality control functions that are essential for conducting clinical trials research in Hawaii?s decentralized community practice setting. It includes a central location for all cancer protocols, a centralized database of protocol-specific data, an updated list of currently active protocols for the use of Center investigators, and status reports of protocols. It provides a centralized organization for activating and monitoring protocols throughout Hawaii?s multiple community offices and medical centers involving several Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). Quality control functions include: insuring subject safety and compliance with federal requirements through the Data and Safety Monitoring plan, insuring staff competency through training for research nurses, CRAs, clinical trials assistants and community office, clinic, and hospital staff engaged in Hawaii?s cancer clinical trials enterprise, and insuring recruitment of underserved minorities through focused outreach activities.

Core facility that provides the following services: Transgenic mouse generation, In vitro fertilization (IVF) service, Embryo culture service, Embryo freezing service. The Transgenic and Embryonic Stem Cell Gene Targeting Core is a state-of-the-art facility with the expertise in the production of genetically altered subjects. Transgenic subjects carrying new or novel genes are created by microinjection of DNA into the pronuclei of fertilized eggs. Knock-out lacking specific genes of interest are created by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells followed by injection into blastocysts to create chimeric subjects. Highly experienced personnel produce transgenic and knock-out subjects for UH investigators at very reasonable cost and with very short lead times. (http://www.ibr.hawaii.edu/tc.html)

Core facility that provides the following services: Real-time/quantitative PCR service, Long read (900bp) sequencing service, Microarray sample labeling service, Automated liquid handling service, DNA/RNA sample concentration service, Spectrophotometry service, Microarray scanning service. Offers services in the areas of qPCR, Microarray, Sequencing, and Other Genomic Services. May expand or remove services depending on need or interest. If you have recurring processes that you would like to automate or have us take over, we would be glad to sit down and talk with you to discuss how we can help you acheive your goals. We are aiming to be a self-sustaining entity consisting solely on a chargeback system. Our prices reflect the costs of equipment service contracts, potential and actual maintenence costs, as well as direct and indirect labor costs and administration. Our costs are kept low by being able to provide services in bulk with high throughput, it is therefore sometimes necessary to have minimum orders or fees in order to maintain a positive cost structure.

The Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) provides statistical consultation and support to the research enterprise of the University of Hawai?i Cancer Center. The primary goal of the resource is to improve the quality of the research through sound statistical principles. The resource was established in 1995 and provides access to statistical support to all Center members on all aspects of research. The BSR provides short-term as well as long-term support for research projects. Support is provided to scientists in epidemiology, health behavior and quality of life research, and molecular and clinical oncology. The members of the Shared Resource often serve as co-investigators on epidemiology and cancer prevention and control projects. Consultation is available in the following areas: design, data collection, data analysis, statistical programming, interpretation and dissemination of results, and protocol review. The members of the resource have contributed to the publication of many peer-reviewed manuscripts from Center research projects. In addition, the statisticians work on methodological issues important to the research ongoing at UH Cancer Center. One area of interest is measurement error models that correct for bias in model parameter estimates when the exposure variable is measured with error. The role of dietary intake and sunlight exposure in cancer etiology are of interest at the Center, and these variables are measured with error. Another interest is in how susceptibility genes affect cancer risk, in combination with exposure data. Therefore, statistical techniques for the investigation of genes and lifestyle-gene interactions in cancer models are also studied.
