Call for Proposals<https://www.ansto.gov.au/our-facilities/australian-centre-for-neutron-scattering/call-for-proposals> at ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering<http://www.ansto.gov.au/acns/> (ACNS) and National Deuteration Facility<http://www.ansto.gov.au/ndf> (NDF) – Round 2022-1



Submission Deadline:  15 February 2022, for instrument time between July and December 2022

Proposals must be submitted on-line at: http://portal.ansto.gov.au/



Important Changes:

  *   The user portal has been transitioned to the ANSTO Research Portal (ARP)<https://portal.ansto.gov.au/> and you will need to create a new account in the ARP if you do not already have an account in the ARP. Please refer to the ACNS & NDF ARP user guide<https://www.ansto.gov.au/media/4451/download/>.
  *   ANSTO is undertaking an Anonymised Review Trial<https://www.ansto.gov.au/anonymised-review> which requires users to comply with the requirements outlined on the Anonymised Review Trial<https://www.ansto.gov.au/anonymised-review> webpage. We encourage you to participate in one of the information sessions which will be run every Wednesday up to the proposal deadline (see the Anonymised Review Trial<https://www.ansto.gov.au/anonymised-review> webpage for full details).

Sample environment equipment<https://www.ansto.gov.au/user-access/instruments/other-instruments-and-services/sample-environments> available for use on the neutron-beam instruments (Sample environment equipment handbook<https://www.ansto.gov.au/media/4447/download>)

Physical Properties Measurement System<https://www.ansto.gov.au/physical-properties-measurement-system> (only in collaborative mode with ANSTO staff)



Please note that both Koala<http://www.ansto.gov.au/koala> (Laue diffractometer) and Joey<http://www.ansto.gov.au/joey> (neutron Laue camera) are not available in the 2022-1 round whilst Koala 2.0 is installed.


NDF is open for proposals for Biological<https://www.ansto.gov.au/our-facilities/national-deuteration-facility/instruments/biodeuteration> and Chemical<https://www.ansto.gov.au/user-access/instruments/deuteration/chemical-deuteration> Deuteration
Enquiries can be emailed to: ndf-enquiries at ansto.gov.au<mailto:ndf-enquiries at ansto.gov.au>

For NDF users who wish to receive their deuterated or isotopically labelled molecules in the first half of 2022 (January-June) for experiments which can be performed during this period, please contact NDF via ndf-enquiries at ansto.gov.au<mailto:ndf-enquiries at ansto.gov.au> to discuss further.



Proposal Types – “ACNS & NDF 2022-1” Round

ACNS

  *   For single visit proposals for ACNS neutron instruments, select “Normal”
  *   For 3-year program proposals for ACNS neutron instruments, select “Program Proposal – Neutron”

NDF

  *   For proposals for NDF deuteration and/or multiple isotopic labelling capabilities (for non-neutron applications or overseas neutron experiments), select “Deuteration”
  *   For 3-year program proposals for NDF deuteration and/or multiple isotopic labelling capabilities (for non-neutron applications or overseas neutron experiments) select “Program Proposal - Deuteration”

Combined ACNS & NDF

  *   For single visit proposals for ACNS neutron instruments which require synthesis of deuterated molecules by the NDF for the proposed experiments, select “Deuteration / Neutron”
  *   For 3-year program proposals for ACNS neutron instruments and NDF deuteration capabilities, select “Program Proposal – Deuteration / Neutron”



Other Important Information:

  *   We welcome international users back to Australia. Please see the Australian Government website<https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/travel-restrictions> for full details on visiting Australia.
  *   Applicants should ideally discuss their proposal with the appropriate ACNS Instrument Scientist and/or NDF scientist before submitting.
