Dear User of the Lujan Center,

You are invited to submit research proposals for time on the neutron Protein Crystallography Station for the 2012 run cycle that begins on August 4, 2012.  This run cycle will continue through December, 2012.   Thus there will be only one proposal call for 2012.   

The deadline for receipt of proposals is 5:00 p.m. on May 14, 2012.

Proposal Submission -- Proposals will be submitted through a new database and web interface that we hope will result in a more efficient proposal process.  Proposals may be submitted by clicking on the "Submit Proposal" link in the left column of the Lujan home page http://lansce.lanl.gov/lujan/index.shtml  .   The text of your proposal should be no longer than two pages and include reference to publications that have resulted from previous time awarded at the Lujan Center.  This information is important and will be used by the proposal evaluation committee in ranking the submitted proposals for scientific impact.  To submit a classified proposal, please contact the Lujan user program administrator whose contact is given below.

Note:  When accessing the proposal submission site for the first time, use your e-mail address as the "Username" and click on the "forgot password" button.  You will be sent a link by email to set your new password.  After logging in, fill out or update your personal information. When you hit "save and continue", you will be directed to the first proposal submission page. Some information has been transferred for proposals submitted in previous years.

If you are a new user or have a question about the feasibility of a proposed experiment, please contact the instrument scientists Zoë Fisher (fisher AT lanl.gov) or Andrey Kovalevsky (yak AT lanl.gov) before submitting your proposal.  

We look forward to welcoming you as a user here at the Lujan Center for the 2012 run cycle.  If you have any questions or would like assistance with the proposal process, please contact the Lujan user office administrator, Lisa Padilla, lip AT lanl.gov or by phone at 505-667-5649.
