If you read this, you're off to a great start! Read the page below, and continue on and read all of the section that follows. The other sections, on , , and , you should review at your leisure, as those topics become relevant to you on your NCIL journey.
You cannot do anything in the lab, including hold a lab computer account, until you have completed the and provided the certificate of completion to the lab manager. If you have completed this training previously, and have a copy of the certificate, you can provide that to us and don't need to do it again.
When you start in the lab, please consult with Cindy about paperwork. If you are a volunteer, you will need to sign a waiver form.
For security reasons, the hallway to NCIL is locked 24/7. You will need to talk to the lab manager to get your DalCard set up to unlock the door. Depending on your needs, this may be only during working hours, or 24/7.
Every person is assigned an individual door code by the lab manager. This is important for security, so that we can ensure that people who no longer work in the lab can't get in. This is important - even though we (usually) still like people after they leave the lab, we have ethical and legal duties to protect personal information of our research subjects, the security of our expensive equipment, and the safety of our people. So, never share your door code with anyone else.
If you are working in a study that involves children, you will need to provide us with a current Criminal Records Check and Child Abuse Registry check. If you do not have these, we can cover the costs and the lab manager will help you apply.
