Letter of Support Policy
A letter of support (LOS) from the core facility, signifying our commitment to your research project, will typically confirm that we will provide access to our resources and expertise. However, this support is contingent upon your proposed experimental approach being scientifically sound as deemed by the core’s leadership.
The LOS will explicitly state that the core facility has reviewed your proposed experimental methods, deems them appropriate for the facility’s capabilities, and finds them aligned with best practices.
To facilitate this process, the core requires a meeting to discuss and review the experimental question, objectives, design, controls, and other relevant details. This meeting must be scheduled at least 2 weeks prior to the date the LOS is needed.听Meeting requests within the 2-week period for grant support will not be considered. Note, the earlier an appointment for support is made the more likely a LOS will be accepted, please schedule in iLabs
