PLEASE NOTE: ALL NCBC BEHAVIOR EQUIPMENT & HOUSING IS IN BARRIER (unless otherwise noted).

 

If you are interested in the NCBC's equipment or services and would like to become a new Core user, please:

1. Review the NCB Core Policies below.
2. Submit a NCBC New User Request and sign (electronically) the User Responsibilities Contract.
3. Arrange a meeting between yourself (and your research team, if applicable) to meet with the Core staff to discuss your research project and core usage.
4. Create an account on our NCBC Scheduling Site by logging in with your HawkID

Note: Before submitting the 'New User Request' form, the prospective user must receive PI authorization for proposed Core usage. Upon submission of this form, it will be sent to your PI for approval.

For protocols involving animals, you may need to submit an IACUC protocol amendment if your current AP does not cover the experiments you are looking to conduct. The Core can provide viewing access to our Animal Protocol to help with the amendment process.

• After the New User Request is reviewed, and the in person meeting has occurred, the prospective user will be familiarized with the Core equipment/facilities and will receive the necessary training for the use of said equipment/facilities.
• The prospective user will be given access to the Core facility as well as the Core scheduling site.

Note: the use of approved equipment/facilities must be scheduling ahead of time using the NCBC scheduling site. Billing will be determined based on time scheduled through this site.
