Get Started
Safety Policy (Updated June 2007)
Scheduling/Billing Policy (Updated October 2007)
To prepare for a new study at the Imaging Research Center,
please follow these steps:
1. Download and fill out this form:
New Protocol Initiation (Word doc)
2. Attach your protocol for review of safety issues and technical feasibility.
3. Attach your approved UC Davis IRB consent forms or Animal Use Protocol.
4. Submit the completed application to Debbie Tussing
(916-734-4528, 
).
Please allow two weeks for technical review and processing.
Once your protocol is approved, you will want to reserve time with the approprate resources
(e.g. the Siemens 3T or a behavioral testing room, see below).
Use of the MRI scanners is billed on an hourly basis.
Investigators can request up to 30 hours of MRI scanner time at the
Imaging Research Center for pilot research projects
for which other support is not available.
To apply for pilot time, please read these instructions
(pdf version).
You will need the
Pilot Program Application Cover Sheet (Word doc)
The MRI scanners, the mock scanner, and the behavioral testing rooms may all be reserved
by qualified users at the Yahoo Calendar site.
Please contact John Ryan (916-734-8692) or Scott Martin (916-734-4595) for the necessary
username/password information.
All research staff that use the MRI scanners must undergo onsite safety-training with annual renewals. Please visit this page to learn more.
The fmri-mri-group mailing list is a primary resource for daily information about scanner
status and scheduling at the Imaging Research Center.
Please contact Scott Martin (916-734-4595, 
)
to have your email address added.
The "Orientation and Operations Manual" is available to researchers conducting or planning to conduct
studies at the Imaging Research Center (last updated February 2003).
