Acknowledging CAMI

It is important that the use of CAMI instruments is properly acknowledged in your publications. Acknowledgement helps us to demonstrate our contribution to the research community and significantly improves our ability to secure funding for new instruments and services.    Anyone who uses the facility should acknowledge the Center by including the “General Acknowledgment” statement provided below in publications and presentations.  In addition, usage of specific instrumentation should be incorporated into the acknowledgement.   Boilerplate statements are provided below:

General Acknowledgment:

Imaging work was performed at the Northwestern University Center for Advanced Molecular Imaging generously supported by NCI CCSG P30 CA060553 awarded to the Robert H Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Specific Acknowledgments:

Bruker 7T MRI

MRI was performed on the 7T Bruker Pharmascan system purchased with the support of NCRR 1S10RR025624-01

Bruker 9.4T MRI

MRI was performed on the 9.4T Bruker Biospec system purchased with the support of NCRR 1S10 RR023707-01

For example, if a user uses the 7T MRI, then the acknowledgment should read: “Imaging work was performed at the Northwestern University Center for Advanced Molecular Imaging generously supported by NCI CCSG P30 CA060553 awarded to the Robert H Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center. MRI was performed on the 7T Bruker Pharmascan system purchased with the support of NCRR 1S10RR025624-01.”

Please send a PDF copy of papers published using CAMI instruments to Alex Waters (EAlexWaters@northwestern.edu).  Every PDF paper you submit to us (with acknowledgement of the facility) will earn your lab a free hour on any instrument of your choice!

Additionally, please notify us of any grant applications in which CAMI is listed as a resource, both when they are submitted and when they are funded. Inclusion in grant proposals helps to demonstrate our significance to the Northwestern research community. Please send these notifications as well to Alex Waters (EAlexWaters@northwestern.edu).

Please contact Alex Waters (EAlexWaters (at) northwestern.edu; phone 847-467-3306) for additional guidance on including the facility in your publications.
