Scanner time requests are available to all researchers across campus who need to make use of imaging technologies as part of a feasibility study or IRB-supported project.

Applications may be completed in stages and submitted once you are ready.

To begin an application you must have, at minimum, the following:

  • Project title
  • PI name, including full contact details if this is a new PI to our system
  • Type of subject

Before submitting your application you will need to provide:

  • Basic Contact Information: the name of the principal investigator and his or her contact information, including campus address, email address, and telephone number
  • Scheduling Information: the type of subject being imaged, the number of subjects, the number of exams per subject, the time per exam, and the specific scanner type if applicable
  • Financial Information: the funding source for the project, the account number, the start and end dates of the funding period, and the name, telephone number, and email address of the financial contact person, unless you are submitting a feasibility study
