From here you can request access to the X-ray laboratory by selecting the “request a training” link which will take you to the Training Requests page shown:
All users of the X-ray lab must be registered and have undergone safety training before being allowed to work in the X-ray laboratory. In order to request registration please select the X-Ray Facility user application form shown:
You will need permission to charge any usage fees to a valid grant/account number on PPMS to complete the training request. If you do not already have a grant/account registered on PPMS, click on the "Request to be authorized for another financial account" link to request permission to charge to your grant/account. Once permission has been granted, you can select the correct grant/account number from the drop down list at the top of the page.
