Nagano will be piloted with selected projects during the months of February and March. All projects will need to be submitted for review and approval via NAGANO starting at a date to be announced in the upcoming days. This also means that you will no longer be required to provide paper copies of your submission to the REB. Gregory Hubin from Semiweb, the provider of Nagano, will provide Neuro research teams a training session on: 1) How to enter into Nagano and create your profile. 2) How to submit research projects, single or multi-site, and how to manage the electronic signatures. 3) How to submit annual renewal, adverse events etc. during the conduct of a research project. VENUE: de Grandpr? Communication Centre DATE: February 10, 2016, 2pm-3pm Please note that the training session will be videotaped and made available to all on the REB web page.

We understand that getting patients, research staff, and MRI time to align can be challenging but I wanted to reiterate a few points regarding our booking and cancellation policy. As indicated on the BIC web site, scans can be cancelled with no penalty up to seven days prior to the reservation. If cancellations are made within the 7 day window, BIC staff will re-open the slot on the calendar and the original reserver will only be charged for any time not ultimately used. Beyond this rule, I'd like to highlight the following practices that we'd like to encourage: 1) scan time reservations should only be made when you really intend to use the slot 2) tentative scan time booking should be avoided when possible 3) pre-emptive booking of more time than is needed, for no other purpose than 'protecting' time, may result in sanctions (admin fees; restriction of scanning privileges) We are doing our best to increase access to 3T services, and will be sending out a brief survey on user needs in the next week. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, Rick -- Rick Hoge, Ph.D. Director, MRI Unit McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute Associate Professor, Dept. of Neurology & Neurosurgery Associate Member, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering McGill University rick.hoge at mcgill.ca 514-398-1929 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
