Current Trainee FAQ
How can I request research supplies?
To request supplies to be used on your CBI research project, please contact Professor Ealick's assistant Leslie Kinsland with the name and amount of the substance, supply, piece of equipment, etc., that you are requesting. Please include size, part number, and suggested supplier(s). Choose eshop suppliers whenever possible.
How can I receive support to attend a conference?
To request support to attend a research conference, please email Professor Ealick. In your request, please include the following: (1) a description of the meeting, (2) why you feel it would be helpful to your research, and (3) the estimated costs. Ordinarily your participation in the meeting should include either a poster or talk describing your research. The Cornell graduate school is an additonal source of funds to defray part of the costs of attending conferences. All funds for the conference must come during the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) in which the conference occurs and during the time in which you are a trainee.
How should I acknowledge the training grant on posters and publications?
Each publication, press release or other document that cites results from NIH grant-supported research must include an acknowledgement and disclaimer such as "The project described was supported by Award Number T32GM008500 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institute Of General Medical Sciences or the National Institutes of Health."
What is my responsibility for complying with the NIH Public Access Policy?
You and your mentor should assure that any peer-reviewed manuscript resulting from research supported in whole or in part by this trainining be submitted to PubMed Central (PMC) upon acceptance for publication. The submission can either be the final peer-reviewed version as accepted for publicationor the final published version. For additional information, please visit http://publicaccess.nih.gov.
How do I arrange a sabbatical or internship in another laboratory?
Your sponsor may have identified a specific sponsor in your original application. Other mentors and previous trainees may also provide suggestions; however, it is your and your mentor's responsibility to make arrangements for an internship that will enhance your research experience. Once identified, you should send a copy of your sabbatical proposal to Professor Ealick for approval by the Executive Committee. This proposal should be prepared during your first year of funding. This grant can provide some funding to help defray expenses for either on or off campus sabbaticals.
