Sample-only proposals are requests for materials already available or regularly synthesized at the Foundry, such as routinely generated peptoids or quantum dots. These projects receive accelerated review for feasibility and merit by the Foundry Directorate. Sample-only proposals may be submitted at any time and are evaluated continuously throughout the year.
An executed Materials Transfer Agreement (MTA) is required prior to project activation and shipment of samples, in place of the usual User Agreement.
