Kean Core Research Equipment Facility (Kean CREF)

Overview of Services

Our mission is to support teaching and multidisciplinary collaborative research at Kean University, with Institutions of Higher Education, and the broader New Jersey regional research ecosystem.

We aim to foster academic-industrial research partnerships and collaborative research programs and work to support the regional Life-Science and Tech industries, from start-ups to established companies, in partnership with the New Jersey’s Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology.

We are also committed to training the next-generation of scientific leaders through collaborative workforce development programs with regional community colleges and our K-12 community. 

CREF is available to Kean University faculty, NJ State University Faculty, and other outside users.

Fees for service are calculated to cover maintenance, consumables, equipment time, and salary costs, and quotes are available from individual programs or resources upon request.

CREF is a participating core facility in the NJ Commission on Science, Technology and Innovation Catalyst R&D Voucher Program.  The program provides vouchers of up to $40,000 to eligible New Jersey companies to help offset the cost of leveraging R&D resources, facilities, and equipment at the state’s academic universities and colleges, federal and non-profit laboratories to advance their technology development.
