1. Co-authorship is requested if the Core made substantial contributions and was essential to the success of the project. Significant contributions include but not limited to development of flow cytometric staining panels, interpretation of data, critical input, original ideas, experimental design, and advancing the biological question being addressed in the publication.
2. In cases of routine analysis, the contributions of the CAIPP Immunophenotyping Core and staff should be included in the acknowledgement section of the publication.
3. Manuscripts using services of the CAIPP Immunophenotyping Core should cite the COBRE Grant Award
