- identifying and publicizing existing research strengths
- connecting researchers with existing equipment and expertise
- facilitating teams to identify and apply for equipment funding
- encouraging joint funding proposals to external funders
- introducing new staff and equipment to members
- helping Erskine Fellows connect with UC experts to develop new collaborations
