https://neutron.ansto.gov.au <https://neutron.ansto.gov.au%20deadline/>
Deadline: 27 November 2009. 

*	For single visit proposals for neutron instruments, select round
"November 2009 Neutron" 
*	For 3 year program proposals for neutron instruments, select
"November 2009 Neutron Program" 
*	ForNational Deuteration Facility proposals, select round
"November 2009 - Deuteration"

Experimental reports and Publications

Users who have carried out experiments on one of the neutron-beam
instruments are required to complete an experimental report and to enter
relevant publications in the on-line user portal. Both can be submitted
on-line under the "Completed Experiments" link on your home page on the
portal. Note that the Program Advisory Committee will consider the track
records of our users when awarding beamtime.

The application is for beam-time requests and does not include travel or
accommodation support. However, successful applications from researchers
from AINSE member institutions
<http://www.ainse.edu.au/about_ainse/member_universities>  will
automatically be forwarded to AINSE for consideration of
travel/accommodation support.
