Submit an access proposal to NCCAT through our Proposal Central portals below. We offer Instrumentation access through our General User Program (GUP), Cross-Training through our cross-Training Program (TP), and Screening access through our Grid Preparation and Screening program (GPS).

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 direct-electron detector. The GUP2 cycle supports use of Chameleon (the commercialized version of Spotiton) with a feedback screening report. The TP cycle supports embedded researcher cross-training (TP1) and facility manager cross-training (TP2). The GPS cycle supports users to come on-site for sample preparation and screening assisted by our staff. Additional classes of proposals open based on capacity and availability.

We have a quarterly call for proposals. Deadlines are: | Oct 1, 2021 for 2022-cycle1 | Jan 1, 2022 for 2022-cycle2 | April 1, 2022 for 2022-cycle3 | July 1, 2022 for 2022-cycle4 | Oct 2, 2022 for 2023-cycle1 | Jan 1, 2023 for 2024-cycle2 | .

NCCAT is committed to an open and transparent application process to ensure equal-opportunity nationwide access.
