PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY STATION AT LANSCE --
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
for Run Cycle Beginning October 1, 2006 You are invited to apply for beam time on the neutron Protein Crystallography Station (PCS) at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The deadline for submitting proposals is 8:00 a.m. (0800) Mountain Daylight Time on Monday, July 3, 2006. These proposals will be considered for beam time that will be available starting October 1, 2006. Rapid access proposals may be submitted at any time, but require compelling evidence of sufficient scientific urgency to justify special scheduling.
The PCS is a high performance neutron protein crystallography beam line funded by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research of the U.S. Department of Energy. Users of the PCS have access to free neutron beam-time, free perdeuration services and also support for data reduction and structure analysis.
For more technical information about the PCS and experimental requirements, contact Paul Langan (505) 665 8125, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Proposal Guidance and Submission
Proposals must be submitted using the process on the LANSCE website; only proposals submitted in this manner will be accepted. To access the proposal submission sites, log onto the LANSCE home page (lansce.lanl.gov). On this page there are links to the Lujan Center via Lujan Resources or to Nuclear and Neutron Science through Nuclear Science Resources. Under Lujan Resources click on the Lujan Proposal Submission Site to submit a proposal to be run at this facility or under Nuclear Science Resources click on NS (WNR) Proposal Submission Site to submit a nuclear science proposal.Links to detailed instructions for preparing the proposals can be found on the proposal submission sites under Resources and Information. Please assure that you address all of pertinent items listed under What Your Proposal Must Contain so that our Program Advisory Committees that conduct the reviews are able to judge the scientific merit of the proposals. This also helps us to demonstrate that the beam time we award goes to the most compelling science. We can only do this if the proposals thoroughly address all of the necessary criteria.
Student Travel Support
Travel support is available for students to participate in an experiment via the STONE (Student Travel Opportunities for Neutron Experiments) Program. For information about this program go to the relevant proposal submission site as described previously and click on the STONE Program link under Resources and Information. Instructions about how to apply for support from the STONE program are found here.Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact the LANSCE User Office by e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or by telephone at (505) 665-1010.
