SIG Acknowledgement Information

Acknowledgement of NIH Shared Instrumentation Grants in Publications

The review of new applications for NIH-funded shared instrumentation grants (SIG) now include an evaluation of the track record of usage of instruments supported by previous SIG awards. For this purpose, SIG applications now require inclusion of a table listing the previous SIG-funded instruments awarded to Einstein with quantification of the publications that specifically acknowledged the awarded SIG grant. Therefore, we are requesting that Einstein investigators acknowledge the specific SIG grant used to purchase the equipment if that device was used to generate results described in any publications or presentations. Investigators should also acknowledge the NIH Center grant that supports the core facility.

Acknowledgement Information

To facilitate this process, we have listed all of the instruments purchased through SIG grants since fiscal year 2009, the specific NIH grants that supported their acquisition and the Core in which they are housed in the table below. Please contact the core facility and/or PI with any questions regarding appropriate citation.

A sample Acknowledgement would be, “This work utilized (insert instrument from below) that was purchased with funding from a National Institutes of Health SIG grant (insert grant number from below)."
