Visiting Researcher Instructions
Welcome to TUNL! Please complete the following information at your earliest convenience prior to arriving at TUNL. This will minimize the delay required before you will be given access to the research areas in TUNL.
Duke Unique ID Request
You will need a Duke Unique ID to access the laboratory and offices after hours. A Duke Unique ID is a number that identifies you in the Duke systems. You can request a Duke Unique ID by emailing the Program Director of Research, Shaun D. Diehl, M.Ed. / M.S / RAA at shaun.diehl@duke.edu with:
- Full Name (First Middle and Last)
- Preferred Email Address
- Home Institution
- Sponsor
- Scope of Work
- Anticipated dates of work
Do this immediately as you will need the Unique ID number to complete many of the remaining required items. We will then request your account creation with the Office of Information Technology (OIT). Once the request has been made you will receive an email from OIT that will ask for more information to complete the process. Upon arrival, we can then email or supply you with a physical letter to take to the card office to get your Duke Card, which is a physical ID card that allows access to buildings and lab areas. Upon arrival you can check in with:
Shaun D. Diehl, M.Ed. / M.S / RAA. Located in Office 125 FEL Laboratory
