Brain Imaging Research Core
The BIRC’s Brain Imaging Research Core is a pay-per-use service allowing external researchers the opportunity to utilize our facility and personnel resources. Interested investigators should have a research focus of adequate scientific merit and must have or plan to obtain approval from the UAMS Institutional Review Board for the applicable protocol. If interested, please contact Natalie Morris at 501-526-8339 or nmorris@uams.edu.

Protocol Review Process
Interested investigators must submit the most recent protocol and consent form for review by the faculty and relevant staff within the BIRC. Addition of BIRC-specific language must be included in the final approved version of protocol and consent forms. External investigators must also meet with the BIRC Director and relevant staff to review the protocol prior to data collection.
