As a shared research resource supported by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and Cognitive Neuroscience of Development & Aging Center, the MITI is a nucleation point for technologies/techniques, expertise, and training, collaboratively leading innovation across research foci. As part of the larger Small Animal Imaging Core, the MITI Core is equipped with experienced research professionals and state-of-the-art intravital imaging equipment to acquire advanced descriptive and quantitative data from live animals and fixed samples requiring deep tissue illumination.
The MITI Core is equipped with an Olympus FVMPE-RS advanced multiphoton microscope and a Spectra-Physics InSight X3 dual-line, tunable multiphoton laser for ultrafast, multichannel imaging.
Learn more about multiphoton intravital and deep tissue microscopy, including how the MITI Research Core can expand your research, by viewing Dr. Jensen Smith's recent Tech Talk about Intravital Microscopy.

Instructions for Adding/Linking Grants to Publications
- Go into MyNCBI: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/. Your login will be the same one that you used to create your “My Bibliography” for NIH Biosketch purposes.
- After login, click on your login name in the top right corner to check your Account settings to make sure that MyNCBI is linked to NIH and the eRA Commons. If it already is, you will see the words “eRA Login” under “Linked Accounts”. Otherwise, click “Change” and add NIH and eRA Commons from the dropdown menu. (Important: You will not be able to add the link to our grant unless you have linked MyNCBI and the eRA Commons)
- Go back to “MyNCBI” homepage.
- Choose the article to which you want to add the grant citation.
- Click on “Manage Citations” on the top left and choose “Manage Awards”.
- Select the “Search/Add other awards” tab. Select the appropriate grants (see below) and close.
- All publications supported by NIH money must comply with NIH’s Open Access Policy (https://publicaccess.nih.gov/policy.htm) and must have a PMCID (Different than an automatically assigned PMID). To get the PMCID, follow the directions under “Public Access Compliance” to the right of each article listed in your MyNCBI.
Retroactive Addition of Acknowledgement Statement/Funding in PubMed
Sign into NCBI, select my NCBI, select my bibliography, select add award option to the right of the publication you wish to update. Add from available list or select ‘search/add other awards.’ Add the grant numbers listed in the acknowledgement statement above.
