Supporting Grants
Citation Requirements
Publications using data made available by the Common Cold Project (CCP) must include appropriate citations to the agencies that provided funding both for the creation and support of the CCP website and for the conduct of the research that generated the data. Here we provide a table indicating the funding sources for the CCP and for each study, as well as guidelines for citing those sources.
The methods section for your research product should include the following in-text information:
- The data were collected by the Laboratory for the Study of Stress, Immunity, and Disease at Carnegie Mellon University under the directorship of Sheldon Cohen, PhD; and were accessed via the Common Cold Project website (www.commoncoldproject.com; grant number NCCIH AT006694).
The references section for your research product should include the following citation:
- Laboratory for the Study of Stress, Immunity, and Disease. (2016). Common Cold Project. Retrieved from http://www.commoncoldproject.com
Finally, the acknowledgment section for your research project should include the following information:
- The data were collected by the Laboratory for the Study of Stress, Immunity, and Disease at Carnegie Mellon University under the directorship of Sheldon Cohen, PhD; and were accessed via the Common Cold Project website (www.commoncoldproject.com).
- The grant that supports the Common Cold Project (NCCIH AT006694)
- The grant(s) that provided primary funding for that research study or studies whose data are used in your article
- NIAID R01 AI23072 for BCS
- NIMH MH50429 for PCS1 and PCS2
- NHLBI HL65111 and HL65112 for PMBC
- NIAID R01 AI066367 for PCS3
- The grant that supported clinical and regulatory assistance to the study
- NIH 5M01 RR00056 for PCS1 and PCS2
- NIH UL1 RR024153 and UL1 TR0005 for PCS3
Supplementary grants that supported the assessment of a specific measure used in the study(ies). For example, genotyping and telomere length in PCS3 and glucocorticoid resistance in PMBC. (See the Table for grant numbers). Inclusion of these citations is appropriate only if your analysis includes variables derived from assessments that were supported by supplementary funding.
Below we present 2 sample acknowledgement sections that demonstrate how to appropriately cite relevant sources of research support. Example 1 is from a paper we published on the role of parenthood in colds using data from PCS1, PCS2, and PMBC. Example 2 is an acknowledgement section for a hypothetical paper that involves data from PMBC and PCS3, and incorporates measures that were funded by a supplementary grant.
Example 1:
“The data used for this article were collected by the Laboratory for the Study of Stress, Immunity, and Disease at Carnegie Mellon University under the directorship of Sheldon Cohen, PhD; and were accessed via the Common Cold Project (CCP) website (www.commoncoldproject.com). CCP data are made publically available through a grant from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (AT006694); the conduct of the studies was supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (MH50429) and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (HL65111; HL65112); and secondary support was provided by a grant from the National Institutes of Health to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center General Clinical Research Center (NCRR/GCRC 5M01 RR00056).”
Example 2:
“The data used for this article were collected by the Laboratory for the Study of Stress, Immunity, and Disease at Carnegie Mellon University under the directorship of Sheldon Cohen, PhD; and were accessed via the Common Cold Project (CCP) website (www.commoncoldproject.com). CCP data are made publically available through a grant from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (AT006694); the conduct of the studies was supported by grants from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (HL65111; HL65112) and National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (R01 AI066367); secondary support was provided by a grant from the National Institutes of Health to the University of Pittsburgh Clinical and Translational Science Institute (UL1 RR024153 and UL1 RT000005); and supplemental support was provided by John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Socioeconomic Status & Health.”
