collaboration

1. Download and complete a Project Form
   • Most important: include contact and funding information, 1-2 paragraphs to briefly describe goals, type of imaging that may meet your needs, and number of animals
   • Return form to Sally Zimney (919 684-7758). CIVM faculty will review your information and arrange a meeting to develop appropriate protocols. For example, the challenges of imaging a 25-g mouse are substantial, so the protocols are considerably different than those used in a clinical environment.
2. Important: for preliminary data needed to submit a grant, provide at least 1 month lead time prior to submission
