Opportunities to Use EMSL Resources

EMSL resources are available to researchers on a pay-by-usage basis. 

Contracted time 

Contracted time refers to requests to use designated time available on instruments outside of EMSL’s advertised calls for proposals and does not include EMSL staff support for instrument operation or analysis. The research should involve well-established techniques in which EMSL has proven capability and established workflows. 

Proprietary proposals 

Proprietary proposals are required for business-sensitive or proprietary research where results are not intended to be published. Researchers who do not intend to publish results and request that their information to be kept as business sensitive or proprietary must provide a contract mechanism.
