About Pilot TimeCAMRI is supported by user fees: PIs receive grants or contracts and then pay CAMRI for MR scanner time on a fee for service basis. To encourage new investigators and projects, pilot time awards are available. The purpose of the pilot time is to allow for collection of preliminary data for new grant applications that will then be used to pay for regularly priced scan time at CAMRI. Pilot Time for Existing UsersFor users who currently scan at CAMRI, pilot time hours are granted based on the amount of paid scanner time used at a ratio of 5 to 1. For every 5 hours of paid scanner time, the user receives one hour of free pilot time. Because off-hours scanning is half-price, the amount of pilot time received is also half as much (for every 10 hours of paid off-hours scanner time, the user receives one hour of free pilot time.) In general, existing user pilot time expires at the end of each fiscal year but up to 10 hours of unused pilot time can roll over to the next fiscal year. Pilot Time for New UsersFor PIs who have never before scanned at CAMRI, a brief application is required, consisting of the following:
