Abstract

This document describes an investment proposal to use Institutional Technical Funding (RTI) granted by FAPESP in 2018 to AC Camargo Cancer Center. The International Research Center (CIPE) of AC Camargo is a 4.000 m2 building with offices and laboratories spaces to carry out cutting-edge biomedical research. A key resource for the development of research projects in CIPE is the core facilities and services provided to all clinical and research scientists. With the increase of large scale clinical projects in the coming years, the institution decided to hire data scientist professionals, as well as it made significant investments in IT infrastructure, using funds from last year's RTI. This year, AC Camargo proposes to buy and substitute 4 new equipments, located in located in Biobanco and CIPE, which are either defected or obsolete. The ammount requested is estimated at R$ 344.963 The replacement of shared equipment, which has reached its end-of-life cicle, with new and more advanced equipment will benefit all researchers and it will also help to ensure the safety and quality of the research operational process of the core facilities.
