Citation of the Delaware BRIN/INBRE in publications and presentations

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) require that we acknowledge NCRR support in books, articles, abstracts and presentations that have benefited directly through BRIN/INBRE support or indirectly through the use of BRIN/INBRE resources such as the DBI Core Instrumentation Centers:

• This publication was made possible by Grant Number 2 P20 RR016472-09 under the INBRE program of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
• The project described was supported by Grant Number 2 P20 RR016472-09 under the INBRE Program of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Please add when appropriate:

• Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of NIH.

For abstracts, a brief citation could be:

• Supported by NIH grant 2 P20 RR016472-09 from the NCRR.

When should the Delaware BRIN/INBRE be cited in publications?

If the work that is published was supported in any way by BRIN/INBRE, then this support should be acknowledged. Support from Delaware INBRE can come in many ways. Following are examples of support through Delaware INBRE that may have made publication of your work possible:

• Direct support of research by BRIN/INBRE
• Use of Core Instrumentation Facilities supported by BRIN/INBRE
  • Bioimaging Center at DBI
  • Bioinformatics Center at DBI
  • Microarray Core Center at DBI
  • Analytical Ultracentrifuge at DBI
  • Chemi-luminescence Imaging System in Wolf Hall
  • Protein/Peptide Sequencing facility in Brown Lab
• Use of bioinformatics resources supported by BRIN/ INBRE. Bioinformatics resources supported by BRIN/INBRE include:
  • Vector NTI
  • Vector Xpression
  • SeqWeb – GCG
  • Sequencher
  • Molecular Operating Environment (MOE)
  • Starlight
  • Amira
• Participation in other BRIN/INBRE-supported projects through its Outreach and Administrative Cores such as such as workshop attendance, travel support to conferences, or hosting a BRIN/INBRE research intern.

The rule of thumb to use in deciding whether to cite BRIN/INBRE is if publication were not possible without access to one or more of these resources, or the rate at which the work was published was significantly enhanced because of access to these resources

Why is it important to cite the Delaware BRIN/INBRE?

Each year the Delaware BRIN/INBRE submits a comprehensive Annual Progress Report to NCRR. Information from this progress report is used by NCRR to justify continued support of the IDeA program. Publications citing NCRR support demonstrate that its resources are being used for research on human health and disease. A strong list of cited publications place Delaware in a better position to successfully compete for future funding opportunities from the IDeA program.
