NOTE: make sure your irb allows a verbal phone screening before participants arrive at CAHBIR. Pre-scan phone screenings are essential. Otherwise many participants may come to your sessions and not be able to be scanned, causing you to lose money and time.

• Editing Reservation Requests
  • Labs are now able to cancel a reservation in iLab after it has been approved. Please note that iLab will warn you of a fee even when the reservation is canceled outside of the 24-hour cancelation period. CAHBIR staff will refer to the timestamp provided at the time of cancelation to determine if a fee is warranted. Unfortunately, editing approved reservations is still NOT permitted. Alternatively, you may cancel the original reservation and reserve the correct date/time. Labs are no longer required to submit a request to cahbir-support@rutgers.edu when canceling or editing approved reservations. Please reach out with any questions.
