Local User

• Definition: Local Users are people working in Stanford University laboratories.
• Obtaining an SMD account: Fill in the registration form to request an account. No database access will be given without the approval of the PI of the lab to which you say you belong.
• Access: Local Users have the possibility to view their own private data in SMD, and data from other members of their lab, and to enter experiments.
• Note: Once a Local User has an account set-up, they can request that an account be set-up for any of their collaborators. However please note that the Local User will be the contact person for the collaborator and will be responsible for entering all their data.

Collaborators

• Definition: Collaborators are people working outside of Stanford University directly on a project with someone at Stanford University. They must be sponsored by a Local User.
• Obtaining an account: Accounts for collaborators are obtained by filling out the registration form. One of the curators will contact you within one business day with your password and account details after the Local User with whom you collaborate has verified the collaboration.
• Access: The collaborator can see only the experiments specifically selected by the Local User with whom they collaborate. A collaborator will not be able to enter any data. All data must be entered by a Local User.

Update Contact Information

Please, keep your contact information current. If you have a new address, e-mail, etc., you can update it: find and select your name under the List Data/Users link on our Search and Analyze page and follow the 'Edit user Information' link on the bottom of the page.

SMD Usage Charges

• There may be charges associated with using SMD. The charges depend on the number of uploaded arrays within a year and they are slightly different depending on whether the lab loading them is at Stanford or at a different institution. This payment will cover access to SMD services for the period 01/01/2008 through 12/31/2008. We ask that you provide Ruth Graves with the source of the funds you will use, an administrative contact's name, phone number and e-mail address. Ruth can be reached by e-mail at rgraves@stanford.edu or phone at 650-723-6163.
  

  SMD charges are detailed below. The actual charge includes an additional 56% surcharge, that covers standard Stanford overhead fees.
