Final Reminder: The 2021-B proposal call closes Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at 12 p.m. ET

The User Office is accepting proposals for remote access experiments to run July – December 2021. All SNS and limited HFIR instruments are available.  See the proposal call announcement for the full list of participating instruments and conditions that can be supported in Remote Access mode. You are highly encouraged to discuss your proposed research with an instrument scientist for feedback before submitting. When you are ready to submit, log in to the proposal system (IPTS).

New Option to request Remote Experiment with Remote Control of Instrument: Remote experiment capabilities are being implemented at SNS and HFIR which will enable users to conduct experiments and produce data through remote control of the instrument. Users interested in running a remote experiment should express this interest when submitting a proposal to the 2021-B proposal call. A yes/no option has been added to IPTS on the instrument selection page which states, “I am interested in running my experiment through remote control of the instrument.” Final determination of proposals to be awarded remote experiment status will be made by ORNL staff, and users will be notified of this status in their proposal award letter.
