Dear All,
We are trialing a 'reserved slot' model for some scanning activities at
YNiC. What does this mean?
1. In general terms, it means that the system we use to reserve slots for
teaching is being rolled out for some grant funded research activity.
There are however some differences in the timing of when unused reserved
slots become available to others to book.
2. The reserved slots open up 6 weeks in advance - coinciding with the
booking access that externally funded projects have.
3. If reserved slots have not been booked one week ahead of those reserved
slots, they will become available to others to book. This means that those
researchers who have one week booking access are unaffected.
The rationale behind this change is to allow funded researchers to plan
ahead, which can be very valuable when high participant throughput is
needed. At the same time however we are happy to reserve slots for any
funded researchers even if they intend only to scan a few participants. As
part of the trial we will also monitor the use of reserved slots by the
researchers who requested them.
Best wishes
Tony
