Individuals (students, faculty and staff) across all UConn campuses are eligible to participate in CGI sponsored training.  Participants can bring a sample of their own for training if desired, allowing for data generation that can be used as proof of principle or preliminary data for grant submissions, etc. Trainings are offered throughout the year based on demand for specific instrumentation and will be advertised via email announcement and on the CGI website. Please be sure to subscribe to the CGI ListServ if you would like to receive notifications of future trainings. CGI ListServ Registration.

(*) = External Rates: If a service center provides services to individuals or organizations outside of the University, the billing rates must include institutional indirect costs even though these costs are not included in the rates for internal University users. The FY25-26 rate adds an additional 35% to billable services.
