The following are the initial steps required to conduct research in the MRI Facility:
Project Approval
Anyone interested in conducting a new research project is asked to please submit a Project Approval Form* to Joanne Murray at jmurray14@unl.edu.
*The pdf file is capable of being filled on a computer, but due to web browser differences you may need to download and open the file in Adobe Acrobat in order to fill in the fields.
We would like to know about your project! This also helps us project and coordinate usage of the equipment.
IRB Approval
Before conducting a research project with human subjects in the MRI Facility, the project must be approved by the UNL Institutional Review Board (IRB). Please visit the UNL IRB website to learn more about applying for UNL IRB approval.
The MRI Facility has developed IRB-approved standard MRI consent form language, including a policy and language for incidental findings. These documents are available via a shared folder for MRI Facility researchers. Investigators are strongly encouraged to use the standard language when submitting IRB projects involving MRI/fMRI, EEG, eye tracking, and/or physiological recordings within the CB3 MRI Facility.
Please send a request to Noah Clayton at nclayton3@unl.edu to be added to this folder.
Upon receiving project IRB approval, please send the following to the CB3 MRI receptionist at mri@unl.edu.
IRB approval letter
- PDF copy of NUgrant project summary page
- The project summary page indicates project personnel approved for work on the project. An updated copy should be shared with the MRI Facility when personnel change.
