Collecting data at CIR

It is recommended to check out the road map for projects at CIR to get an overview of some important checkpoints common for most imaging projects.

Generally, data collected at CIR is gathered at the Shared Platform for Imaging in the CIR Environment - SPICE. This is a high performance compute cluster that store data for active projects and offer compute resources for users to analyze their data remotely.

Data must be collected within a project registered with CIR. Registering a project is done by the projects PI agreeing to the user agreement, filling out and signing the project registration webform.

Collecting data at CIR

Some imaging facilities can be "self-use" by researchers or students for data collection after training, while others have facility staff to run equipment and experiments. Regardless, it is important that any data is clearly labeled as it is collected.

To keep track of your data, CIR offer a simple redcap form to fill out at data collection. By registering who is collecting what data, at what facility, the resulting data is gathered in your projects folder on SPICE within 24 hours.

You find the redcap form: on this link or via the QR code below.
