Project Details

Describe the project you will be working on. What are your aims and objectives?

What do you require (e.g. advice on techniques; use of equipment; training on equipment; other)?

Will you require the use of facilities to acquire data and require collaborative support from staff?

Estimated time required. Please include number of samples (animals), number of time points per sample and acquisition time per time point (if possible):

Normally raw data will be provided in standard formats (DICOM, ANALYSE etc), do you need help with image analysis?
Yes No

If help is required please describe (e.g. DTI calculations, Kinetic modelling). This will raise the project to status of collaborative project.

Please contact the relevant person from the table below on how to obtain ethics approval for research conducted at each node.
