BORC is supported through funding provided to the Nebraska Center for the Prevention of Obesity Diseases (NPOD) by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number P20GM104320. Therefore, at this time, users are not charged for the core services. Available subsidies are reassessed periodically and are dependent upon grant funding. While all users are encouraged to explore and use our services, service requests consistent with NPOD’s programmatic focus on nutrient signaling and metabolic disease are our priority.
