Facility Policies

User Fees

Our user fees are essential for the availability of the instrumentation and expertise that the facility provides.  We aim to set our user fees at the lowest possible level to maintain our resources.  As a consequence, our user fees may be adjusted to reflect current funding situations. 

Authorship

• Co-authorship is generally expected when core personnel have made significant contributions to the research in the form of consultation, experimental design, data analysis and/or data interpretation.  In such cases, core personnel should have the opportunity to review and edit the appropriate sections of a manuscript before submission. 
• Acknowledgement of facility contributions is expected in publications that include data generated in the facility.
• Please inform us when relevant publications are accepted and/or grants are awarded.  This information is vital to the continued support of the facility. 

Collaboration

Collaborative projects with core personnel are highly encouraged.  Special pricing structures are in place for collaborations which involve salary support of core personnel.  Please contact Jessica Prenni to discuss any potential projects.
