Proposal Submission

  *   Users should work with an appropriate instrument contact when planning experiments and writing proposals. They are happy to assist you and will also help you register and submit your proposal. List of Instrument Contacts<https://www.nist.gov/ncnr/about-ncnr/leaders-organization#instruments>
  *   To submit a proposal, you must have an account, or create one, on the Information Management System. NCNR-IMS Login/Create Account<https://ncnrims.nist.gov/>
  *   The description of the research section must be uploaded as a PDF file no longer than 3 letter-size pages (including references), nor more than 1500 kb in file size.
