Established in 2016, CREx is an NIH-exclusive online research resource marketplace designed to increase transparency around the advanced technologies and technical expertise available within the Intramural Research Program (IRP). It also serves to foster collaboration and resource sharing across NIH Institutes and Centers.
CREx catalogs more than 250 internal NIH research resources—including Core Labs, Collaborative and Trans-NIH Facilities, and NIH-funded data and resource repositories. Resources are organized by research areas and keywords to help NIH investigators easily identify the most relevant tools and expertise needed to accelerate scientific discovery.
