Welcome to the CNBD! The first step to gaining CNBD access is learning and acknowledging researcher responsibilities while working in our space. All researchers, staff, and faculty must read and sign our Rules of Engagement Form before using CNBD space. The procedures for gaining other accesses are described below. Please let us know if you have any questions at cnbd@umn.edu.

Requesting CNBD Space and Equipment
Requesting CNBD Space and Equipment
Prior to initiating a new study, researchers should submit the MIDB Request for Service Form
MIDB Hubs review the application; decision communicated in 2-3 weeks
Studies will be asked to report study tracking information (number of visits conducted & number of hours) to the CNBD on a monthly basis. Emails will be sent out by the CNBD on the 1st of each month requesting this information from study coordinators.
Once approved, if research suite space is needed (for storage and work space), the Investigator must complete the CNBD Suite Request Form
Once the request is submitted, the CNBD will review the request and allocate space based on current usage and need
Research staff will be asked to sign the CNBD's research suites usage agreement, which outlines the conditions and best practices of using the space
Only studies that will actively run in the CNBD will be allocated research suite space
CNBD will assign suite and cabinet keys via RFSS
Researchers should obtain keys from the MIDB front desk once notified
Research suite space audits are conducted approximately every 2 years
If your study requires freezer access/storage, please complete the Freezer Storage and User Agreement
Once the request is submitted, the CNBD will contact you regarding next steps (i.e. signing a contract and completing OCEASOFT training)
Requesting U-Card Access to the CNBD
Requesting U-Card Access to the CNBD
Gaining access to any university research building requires the following steps to be completed:
Employee/student access form
List "CNBD" under "Select your PI or Facility"
U-Card verification
Required training
Supervisor approval form
Please visit the RFSS website to complete the Employee/Student Access form and begin the access process.

lab association
role on the project
The CNBD will submit the Supervisor Approval Form.
Planning to use a Temporary Access Card until your U-card has access? We are instituting an updated guidance on temporary access cards issued by the MIDB front desk. This guidance will apply to incoming researchers and research assistants, employee or student, who are assisting with studies at the CNBD but not already granted building access. From here forward, we request that you notify the MIDB front desk (midbinfo@umn.edu) if there are any individuals on your teams who fit this description.
Requesting CNBD Computer Access

*CTSI requires that all portal users complete training on Canvas in order for access to be granted. Please complete the CTR Portal Scheduling System User Guide-001 course prior to requesting portal access from the CNBD.
Instructions for using the portal can be found in the scheduling manual.
Setting up Printer Access
Setting up Printer Access
There are currently 7 multi-function printers scattered throughout the building that are ready for you to use. You are free to install these printers on your computer at any time, and we encourage you to add the one or two that are closest to your new office location. Please note that if you attempt this while working off-campus, you will need to be connected to VPN.
For Windows computers:
When you get to Step 5, make sure the Find in dropdown menu is set to "Entire Directory." Type the word "Masonic" in the Location field and click "Find Now." You will be presented with a list of MIDB printers, named by office location. Simply double-click the printer you would like to add. Repeat the process for any additional printers.
Room 1-104: CEHD-MiDB-1104-Canon5850C
Room 1-328: CEHD-MIDB-1328-Canon5850C
Room 1-339: CEHD-MiDB-1339-Canon257
Room 2-001: CEHD-MiDB-2001-Canon257
Room 2-304: CEHD-MiDB-2304-Canon5850C
Room 2-369: CEHD-MiDB-2369-Canon257
Room 2-506 (annex): CEHD-MiDB-2506-Canon357
Access to these printers are controlled via network security groups. If you receive a warning that you are not allowed to install these printers, please contact CEHD AIT so that we can ensure that you are in the correct group.
IF the above method does not work, try the following:
In step 4, rather than choosing ‘Find by location’, select ‘Add a printer using IP address’
Use one of the following IP addresses:
For room 1-104, enter: CEHD-MiDB-1104-Canon5850C.cehd.umn.edu
For room 1-328, enter: CEHD-MIDB-1328-Canon5850C.cehd.umn.edu
For room 1-339, enter: CEHD-MiDB-1339-Canon257.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-001, enter: CEHD-MiDB-2001-Canon257.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-304, enter: CEHD-MiDB-2304-Canon5850C.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-369, enter: CEHD-MiDB-2369-Canon257.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-506 (annex), enter: CEHD-MiDB-2506-Canon357.cehd.umn.edu
Select a Generic Canon printer driver, and add the printer
If you still have issues, submit a support request to CEHD AIT via this form.
For Macintosh computers:
When you get to Steps 5 and 6, enter one of the following in the Address field (not case-sensitive):
For room 1-104, enter: CEHD-MiDB-1104-Canon5850C.cehd.umn.edu
For room 1-328, enter: CEHD-MIDB-1328-Canon5850C.cehd.umn.edu
For room 1-339, enter: CEHD-MiDB-1339-Canon257.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-001, enter: CEHD-MiDB-2001-Canon257.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-304, enter: CEHD-MiDB-2304-Canon5850C.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-369, enter: CEHD-MiDB-2369-Canon257.cehd.umn.edu
For room 2-506 (annex), enter: CEHD-MiDB-2506-Canon357.cehd.umn.edu
If it says that it is an invalid address, check if there is an extra space at the end of the address, and remove it
You may edit the other fields as you see fit, and you may use generic print drivers in most cases. Click Add. If asked about duplex printing, check the box and click OK.
If you need additional assistance installing a printer or have any questions, please contact CEHD AIT by completing the request form.
