SAIL Policies

Project Code: A project form that has been approved by the Director must be completed before the start of any project. Investigators will receive a project code e.g. 26.JD.05 (26-year project starts; JD -initials of the PI; 05- the fifth project JD has undertaken). IACUC documentation, scheduling, data archiving, and billing will use this project code. A new project code is required for every project. Codes of ongoing projects must be updated annually to comply with SOM policies.

Acknowledgement: Papers resulting from work at the CIVM must acknowledge the use of the facility. The PI must provide the Director a copy of the manuscript prior to submission to verify the technical details and discuss inclusion of CIVM staff as contributors where warranted.

Scheduling: Once a project form is approved, the PI can contact Wyatt Austin for scheduling.

Data Provenance and Backup: Images acquired on the Bruker system will be saved in a long term Oracle archive as DICOM magnitude. Staff will assist PI's (via their data steward) in establishing links to the archive. Assistance will be provided in image analysis at a standard consulting rate of $65/hour.

Grant Applications: The director and CIVM staff will be delighted to assist in preparing grant applications -- but not at the last minute! If you are submitting a proposal for funding to any government of commercial entity, you must discuss the proposal with the director at least 2 weeks prior to submission.

Use of the SHARED Resource: Implies SHARED responsibilities between the PI, the lab members and the staff at CIVM. Our rules are limited and common sense with a goal of establishing a productive collegial environment. Those who do not abide by them will not be granted future access.
