Step One - Train for Safety
To ensure the safety and well-being of our subjects, patients, researchers, and staff, INST in conjunction with MSU's Office for Regulatory Complience requires ALL individuals involved in ALL research projects to complete INST Safety Training (detailed below) before scheduling or using the imaging equipment. All individuals involved in research projects must complete INST Safety Training annually. For more information, please contact INST at 662-325-8739.

• Email your name and netID to business@inst.msstate.edu and indicate whether you're a participant or researcher. Once you are registered with WebCT, you will receive an email notice and then you can procede with the following:
  1. Go to onCampus
  2. Go to Secure Access Login and login with your netID and password
  3. Click on "Classroom" Tab
  4. Click on Old WebCT
  5. Click on External WebCT
  6. Login using your netID and password
  7. Click on INST Safety Course
  8. Click on Instructions and proceed. You will need to watch the video and take the exam
• Once you complete the exam, the results will be trasmitted to Regulatory Compliance. They will then notify INST of your results. If your score is lower than 100%, you will be contacted to either retake the test or to review the missed questions.

Step Two - Submit your Paperwork
You will need to complete our Research Project Application, Screening Forms, IRB/IACUC forms and other related documents for each research project that invovles the use of imaging equipment. The research project application is designed to provide us with all the contact, compliance and billing information we will need to assist you with your research project. Review the Checklist and Equipment Costs before submitting the application. Please allow seven (7) business days after the submission of the application and IRB/IACUC documentation to process your research project application.

Step Three - Schedule the Equipment
Once all the required paperwork about your project has been received and approved, you will receive an email notice that will provide you with a temporary password. This password will expire after 30 days. You may schedule your whole project at once, or one session at a time, but you will only be able to schedule as many reservations as you requested in the research application. We will try our best to accommodate all scheduling requests. However, at times we might have to suggest alternative dates or times due to the volume of requests or compliance constraints.

• Scheduling an appointment using the INST Scheduling System:
  1. Go to the INST Intranet
  2. Click on "Scheduling an Event at INST" and login using the username and password you received in the email
  3. Click on "MRI Calendar"
  4. Click on "Make a new appointment"
  5. Enter the requested information *NOTE:You must fill out the form in its entirety
  6. Click on "Make Reservation"

Step Four - Confirmation
Once your paperwork has been processed, and your reservation made, you will receive an e-mail confirming your requested time. If there are any questions or concerns, you will be contacted prior to confirmation.

In the unfortunate circumstance that you would need to cancel a scheduled equipment usage time, please return to the scheduling system and choose "Cancel Reservation" from the menu. Complete all of the requested fields and submit the form. ALL cancellation requests must be made 24 hours in advance, or you will be charged for the time you have reserved the equipment. You must cancel by submitting the form online. Verbal cancellations will not be accepted.
