Information for New User Accounts

Accounts at CCR are awarded only for faculty based research projects. Faculty using CCR resources are expected to acknowledge CCR support in publications, include direct funds in grant proposals for projects that require significant CCR staff time or computing resources, and include a percent credit to CCR on the Sponsored Programs Approval Form. A typical percent credit is 2-5%, though this can be larger for grants requiring significant CCR resources. Please note that Queue Priority is based on a combination of the above factors. Thank you for your support.

Acknowledging CCR in publications and grant proposals is important because:

  1. it provides a metric by which the university can gauge the utility and impact that CCR resources (hardware, software, and personnel) have on externally funded research at UB, and
  2. provides CCR with funds to facilitate your research by allowing CCR staff to work directly on your project.

Feel free to use the information in the CCR Facility Description for PIs (Microsoft Word document) as reference material for your proposals.  Also, if you would like a letter of support for your proposal, please contact us.
