Study Resources

Kit Request Module

Please follow the below link to access the Kit Request Module. This link will direct you to a REDCap database where study coordinators and staff may request kits, individual supplies, and/or labels. Study related sites will use the same link for ordering supplies related to blood-based samples and for CSF. Please allow a total of three weeks for kit requests to be compiled and delivered to your site.

biological sample notification forms

Please use the online sample form to collect information on specimen demographics, collection, and processing. After submitting the form online, download and print the PDF to include a hard copy with each shipment. In addition, notify NCRAD in advance of shipment by submitting the NCRAD Specimen Shipment Notification Form online. An email will automatically be sent to alzstudy@iu.edu once submitted.

If you are unable to access the online form at the time of collection, you may print and complete the previous form as an interim option, but please ensure the online form is submitted as soon as computer access is available.
