EMSL's 2012 Call for Proposals will be open February 17 - April 2 for high-impact user research proposals focused on selected topics in environmental molecular science. Award decisions will be made by September 1, and approved proposals will be granted access to EMSL resources beginning October 1, 2012. Proposals submitted under this Call are valid for one year, with two annual extensions possible upon request, provided sufficient progress toward stated goals is achieved and documented in annual summaries. Through the proposal and review process, EMSL allocates access to research instruments, staff, and facility services. Access to instruments is provided at no cost to users for research that is in the public domain and intended for publication in the open literature, but users are responsible for funding their own team's labor and travel expenses. Details related to focused topics under the Call will be available on EMSL's website on February 17 (http://www.emsl.pnl.gov/access/calls/).
