Please note: As of June 30, 2023 the HWRC is no longer supporting NDSR licenses due to rising costs. Should you need to purchase NDSR licenses for use in your research, please contact the Nutrition Coordinating Center (www.ncc.umn.edu) directly.

Information about the equipment loan program:

• This equipment is available on a first come, first serve basis.  Researchers are required to reserve the equipment prior to needing it.
• Priority for equipment use is given to faculty and postdoctoral researchers in the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health (EpiCH), School of Public Health.
• Equipment loans to investigators outside of EpiCH may be limited to 12 months or less, depending on the level of requests for equipment.
• Equipment is the responsibility of the researchers upon check out.  If researchers check out equipment, it is their responsibility to see that it is returned undamaged, clean, and on time.
• Student use is allowed if a faculty center member agrees to check out the equipment and take full responsibility for the terms of the equipment loan agreement.
• All equipment must be checked out and returned to Stacey Moe, the HWRC Operations Manager. If equipment is not returned, the researchers to whom it was last registered will be held accountable for its whereabouts.
• The HWRC reserves the right to deny equipment checkout if the above policy is or has been compromised in the past.
• The HWRC may consider committing funds toward the purchase of new equipment for a specific grant submission if the equipment is of benefit to HWRC and contributed to the lending library after use on the project. If this is of interest to you, please contact the HWRC Operations Manager, Stacey Moe at gerl0056@umn.edu.  A separate agreement for this is required.
• The HWRC Directors must approve any exceptions to these policies.
