Acknowledging the shared resource in your publications:

If you have used a Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) shared resource to generate data for a publication, please use the following text in the acknowledgments section: 

¡°Data were generated in part through the use of the Bionutrition Research Core (BRC) [list other CCSG shared resources if used], which receive partial support from the National Cancer Institute under grant P30CA016672 to MD Anderson Cancer Center. The research reported in this [publication/press release] was not directly funded through the grant P30CA016672 to MD Anderson Cancer Center and is not within the scope of such grant.¡±

We strongly encourage that: 

1. Shared resource staff and/or leadership be listed as authors on publications for their intellectual contributions
2. Shared resources are listed as institutional affiliations if allowed by the publication
3. All shared resources used are also listed in the acknowledgment section of the publication

This will ensure the correct and comprehensive retrieval of shared resource facility publications for progress reporting and better provide publication attributions for core staff.

All authors are responsible for knowing and crediting in whatever section is available (such as acknowledgments and/or affiliations), the correct, official and complete name(s) of any and all core facilities utilized for the purposes of the paper.
