How do I apply to the MagLab User Program?

The NSF-funded MagLab Users Program supports access to MagLab facilities for external users as well as technology development projects. Proposals should be submitted through the user portal, selecting the appropriate facility.  The proposal will be peer-reviewed by members of the MagLab user committee.  Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis with reviews provided and funding decisions made within four weeks of proposal submission.

Users who apply for instruments housed at the Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (AMRIS) Facility in Gainesville, FL, should consult the AMRIS FAQ page for details specific to that MagLab location, including information on remote system access.
