Service Requests
The three main categories of work performed by RCRIC are listed below. Note: Image Copying and Study Setup require a budget number (LAN) prior to submission.
- Research Image Copying – This service has migrated to AMBRA. There is a new request process for intake starting with a service-now ticket here -- https://schprod.service-now.com/it/?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id=6f1417ea1bc4c490af1499f4bd4bcb45
- Study Setup (post-award) - study setup, protocol optimization, workflow oversight
- Radiation Safety Review - for studies where radiation containing modalities are used for research (charged to study budget). Requires current study protocol and consent forms for submission. Note: since Oct 2020, studies using simple x-ray or DEXA scans do NOT need radiation aprpoval.
