Relevant information may be shared upon request to NIH and/or other national service centers. In particular, the information shared with the other NIH national service centers may include (but is not limited to) awarded application spokesperson/PI names, institution and application titles.

Code of Conduct

All NCCAT visitors are asked to:

Arrive for your session on time; let us know if you will be unavoidably delayed.
Follow the rules and protocols in place at the Center.
Understand safety issues and rules and endeavor to keep the environment safe for themselves and everyone else.

GUP efficient instrumentation use.

Our goal is to ensure the best usage of the equipment at the center. If there is a situation where the users samples are not ready or data collection is not an efficient use of instrument time, then the session may be stopped early. This situation would include, but not be limited to: the user sample is not in a state that is compatible with liquid handling in the Chameleon instrument, and user grid being low quality (over half of the images being collected on vacuum, CTF estimation confidence values worse than 7Å and/or drift greater than double the pixel size). The staff will work with the user to ensure that if this situation exists to see if there is a pathway forward. In unusual circumstances, or justified cases the user may apply for a future session.
