EMSL 2014 Call for Proposals offers two opportunities:

•  Science Theme Research (applications accepted until March 3, 2014)
• JGI-EMSL Collaborative Science Initiative (proposals accepted until April 7, 2014)

Applicants may apply for either or both, but should be aware of the differences in schedules and respective due dates. Returning applicants are advised to carefully review proposal package requirements as they may differ from last year.

Award decisions will be made by July 31, and approved proposals will be granted access to EMSL resources beginning October 1, 2014.

Prospective users are strongly encouraged to contact the relevant Science Theme Lead or Capability Lead well in advance of the deadline to discuss proposal ideas and possible research collaborations with EMSL and PNNL staff. Prospective users interested in coupling experimental and computational approaches should contact the Molecular Science Computing Lead.

Questions regarding EMSL’s user program or specifics about either of the Call opportunities may be directed to the User Support Office (509-371-6003, emsl@pnnl.gov <mailto:emsl@pnnl.gov>).
