Lab Groups

In Stratocore PPMS, a Group represents a lab, research team, or organizational unit that conducts research under a Principal Investigator. Groups are essential to manage a lab's users, projects, and financial accounts within Stratocore PPMS. Lab groups are identified by their Principal Investigator.

Groups are cross-core in Stratocore PPMS, meaning a lab group can access services and manage activity across multiple core facilities within UNMC. This allows viability on research, usage, and spending regardless of which core is being used.

Important: Without affiliation to the correct PI lab group, users should not request services, book instruments, or be added to projects. The first step to begin using Stratocore PPMS starts with the UNMC PI or their designee completing the Lab Group Setup Form. This form is required to establish your lab group in the system. Once the form is submitted, you’ll receive additional instructions.

Every researcher in Stratocore PPMS can only be affiliated with one lab group. If a researcher works with more than one lab, determine the main lab the user should be affiliated with in Stratocore PPMS. Researchers can still work with other lab groups through projects.

Roles and Permissions

Each group within Stratocore PPMS includes specific roles with defined permissions:

Group Member (Researcher/Student)
- Can request services, book instruments, and participate in projects, depending on permissions granted by the Group Manager(s) and Account Manager(s).

Financial Management
- Group Manager (PI and/or Lab Manager)
  - Manages the financials related to the group
  - Can manage users, view usage, and assist with billing
- Account Manager (Lab Manager and/or Financial Administrator)
  - Manages and over sees specific financial accounts
  - Affiliates cost objects with lab groups, users, and projects
  - View usage and billing to specific financial accounts
