Acknowledging Shared Resources
Any published research that received funding from the UWCCC Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG), including use of UWCCC Shared Resources to generate or analyze data or conduct clinical trials, must reference the UWCCC. Also acknowledge each individual shared resource that supported the research.
If existing publications used shared resources or instruments on NIH Shared Instrumentation Grants without acknowledging them, please update those publications to include the relevant acknowledgments.
