[Neutron] Program Proposals at OPAL - deadline 8 May [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[BUTTNER, Herma]

Dear Neutron User:

Deadline Reminder: 8 May 2009 and announcement of Program Proposals

A reminder that the deadline for proposals for neutron beam instrument
time, and bio-deuteration at the National Deuteration Facility, in the 6
months from September 2009 is 8 May 2009.

In addition, for the first time we are calling for Program Proposals for
one or more neutron instruments.
Program proposals are intended to enable a coherent program of research
requiring multiple time allocations  over a 3 year period.  They are
aimed at experienced groups, which can commit to providing
round-the-clock experimental support for the whole program, with minimal
support from Bragg Institute staff, and which have a demonstrated track
record of research using neutron scattering techniques.  

Successful programs will receive scheduling priority, with each
instrument time allocation requested via a separate "Program Proposal
Beamtime Request" proposal.  The progress of each program will be
reviewed mid-term, i.e. after 18 months.  Up to 25% of the user time on
each instrument will be available for allocation to program proposals.  

To apply for a program proposal select the "May2009 Neutron Program"
round on the Bragg Institute online proposal portal
http://neutron.ansto.gov.au <http://neutron.ansto.gov.au/> .  The
deadline for program proposals is also 8 May.  

Best Regards,
The Bragg Institute User Office
