[labnetwork] Staff Consulting

[Aebersold,Julia W.]

Our university has a painful program in place for staff members to use the facility for consulting work or for their personal usage.  First, conflict of interest (COI) documents have to be signed.  Once approval is garnered and an oversight program is established then the staff member is treated as an outside user during their processing.  They have to sign a user laboratory agreement, carry insurance and are charged as an external user.

I really hope there are simpler programs out there that maybe we could emulate.

Cheers!

I know that a number of facilities allow their staff to do outside "consulting" or "processing" using lab equipment. If you have such a program, could you tell me how it works? We do some of that, but it is not an organized program and we would like to put a little more structure to it.

Thanks,
John
