C Summary of Institutional Survey Results CONTENTS Overview, 108 Types of ARIF at Institutions, 110 ARIF Capital Costs, 111 Institutions Concerns Regarding ARIF, 113 Support for ARIF, 113 Operations and Maintenance Costs, 115 Anticipated ARIF Needs of Institutions, 115 Institutional Survey on Advanced Research Instrumentation, 122 List of Responding Institutions, 126 OVERVIEW The question of the centralization of instrumentation on university campuses figures prominently in the committee's charge, so the committee was interested in finding out more about the instrumentation and facilities with capital costs over $2 million that exist on university campuses. To obtain this information, a survey was drafted and sent to university administrators -- namely vice provosts, presidents, and chancellors of research.

Thus, the committee strongly advises that the results of the survey be considered judiciously and that the data not be used for budgeting purposes. Although statistical results concerning the overall number of ARIF and the distribution of ARIF types and costs are not representative, the committee seriously weighed the concerns expressed by universities regarding ARIF.

Figure C-2 shows the distribution of ARIF reported by field or type, and Table C-1 lists sample instruments for each category and the range of capital costs. The most commonly reported individual instru ments were advanced magnetic resonance imagers and nuclear magnetic reso nance spectrometers.

INSTITUTION CONCERNS REGARDING ARIF Institutions had two opportunities in the survey to document their concerns regarding ARIF: in the general survey and for each instrument. On the whole, not many comments were given in the general survey.

The one clear exception was Boston University, which reported that the annual O&M costs of its IBM supercomputer refer to maintenance but not power. Some institutions included the costs of service contracts and personnel salaries in their estimates of O&M, and others did not.

(University of California, Berkeley) $2 million limit We would like to make the point that advanced instrumentation below $2 million is itself very difficult to get through grants; thus advanced should not be confused or equated with expensive.
