Programmatic Proposals

IPNS will accept Programmatic proposals for many instruments.  Programmatic
proposals are similar to regular proposals, except that they require a more
extensive "scientific background" that justifies access to IPNS instruments
for two years.  The number of days requested should be for the next cycle
only.

Programmatic proposals are identified by the first two words in the abstract
("Programmatic Proposal").  The same form is used for regular and
programmatic proposals and the submittal procedure is the same.   

The Program Advisory Committee (PAC) evaluates the proposal initially and
assigns a Numeric Rating (NR) as for other proposals, and time will be
granted based on this rating.  For the following three cycles the Instrument
Scientist (IS) or designate will communicate with the PI to assign days
based on needs.

Instrument Scientists will review the scientific productivity of
programmatic proposals and continued access to instruments will be granted
only to productive proposals.  Renewals will be considered after 2 years and
will require PAC review. 

For further information or questions, contact the respective Instrument
Scientist (contact information at IPNS website)

Experimental Reports

Those who have already run experiments must submit an experiment report on
the standard IPNS Experimental Report Form.  Further beam time will not be
granted unless reports on all previous experiments have been submitted.
Referencing and discussing all previous work at IPNS is extremely useful to
the Program Advisory Committee and can enhance your proposal's prospects for
acceptance.  Experimental reports will also be accepted by email.  Proposal
submission information can be found at
http://www.pns.anl.gov/proposal_call/.  The experimental report form can be
downloaded from the IPNS website http://www.pns.anl.gov/proposalcall/ IPNS
