K-INBRE Bioinformatics Core Policies on Attribution and Cost Recovery

The K-INBRE Bioinformatics Core (KBC) serves an important role in providing bioinformatics support to IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) investigators across the state of Kansas. These services are subsidized by the K-INBRE core grant. However, in order for this core to be successful, it is critical that investigators provide attribution and cost-recovery where appropriate. Accordingly, the following policies have been implemented.

• All publications or presentations describing studies in which services or software provided by the KBC were used should contain the following statement of attribution:

Supported by the K-INBRE Bioinformatics Core, NIH grant number P20 RR016475.

• In cases where KBC Core Staff contributed to the intellectual development of the project, provided analysis of the data beyond that which would have been otherwise possible for the investigator’s team, or authored any component of the text, additional attribution should be provided in the form of authorship on the resulting manuscript or abstract.
