Accepting User Proposals to the National Center for CryoEM Access and Training (NCCAT)
The GUP1 access program supports single particle cryoEM data collection on one of our existing Titan Krios instruments using dedicated NCCAT instrumentation using a Gatan K3 or TFS Falcon4i direct-electron detector. The GUP2 cycle supports use of Chameleon (the commercialized version of Spotiton) with a feedback screening report. Lastly, the TP cycle supports embedded researcher cross-training (TP1) and facility manager cross-training (TP2). Additional classes of proposals open based on capacity and availability.
We have a quarterly call for proposals. Deadlines are: | April 1, 2023 for 2023-cycle3 | July 1, 2023 for 2023-cycle4 | Oct 1, 2023 for 2024-cycle1 | Jan 1, 2024 for 2024-cycle2 | .
NCCAT is committed to an open and transparent application process to ensure equal-opportunity nationwide access.
