Partner User Proposals are designed to accommodate special partnership projects with broader scope and/or longer time frames than Standard projects, and include user-contributed resources to the User Program. Partner User proposals should be developed with substantial input from Foundry scientists and require a letter of support from the Lead Facility Director.
This proposal type undergoes extensive review by both the Proposal Review Board and the Foundry’s Scientific Advisory Board, which typically requires several months.
The duration of a Partner User proposal is typically two years.
Partner User proposals are subject to requirements for User Agreements and Safety Review.
