METRIC Policies

General Policies

  • All training, consultation and letter of support requests as well as general inquiries should go through the Lab Management Portal
  • Building and room access will be granted to trained users at the graduate student, staff, or faculty level.  No keycard access to METRIC labs will be permitted for undergraduate students, as undergraduates should be accompanied by a METRIC team member or a senior member of their group.
  • Financial Agreements must be established in the Lab Management Portal prior to use of METRIC instrumentation. 
  • All samples submitted to METRIC must be labeled clearly and include a detailed description of what each sample ID is as well as details of any processing protocol used; samples will be stored by METRIC for no longer than 1 month after project completion.
  • METRIC will provide raw data files to clients for transfer to their own storage device upon completion of their experiments; METRIC assumes no responsibility for data storage.
  • All users agree to acknowledge METRIC in any publications or grant proposals for which data collected in METRIC is used for. When an intellectual contribution is made by a METRIC staff member, authorship is expected in addition to acknowledgement.
