*Access to Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) Shared Resources: For each Shared Resource, ACC member satisfaction with access is surveyed annually. There is no discount to ACC members vs. non-member Penn faculty, but access priority differs. Highest priority is given to ACC members with peer-reviewed funded projects, followed by ACC members with other funded projects and non-ACC members with peer-reviewed funded projects (for PSOM Core Facilities), non-ACC members with funded projects, and finally users from outside the institution.
