Community Science Campaigns

Access EMSL staff members' expertise, instruments, and resources through Community Science Campaigns, leveraging the collective power of the research community to tackle significant biological, environmental, and computational challenges faced in creating an energy-secure future.

Through these campaigns, EMSL hosts open sampling calls and facilitates the development of capabilities to support U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science research priorities using our facility's expertise within the three Science Areas below. Upon conclusion of a campaign, data from each proposal call will be made available to the public for free through EMSL's Science Central platform. Additionally, capabilities developed will be accessible to researchers as part of future open proposal calls.
