[3dem] eBIC: call for proposals on COVID-19 related research

[peijun at strubi.ox.ac.uk]

Dear all, 

 

RESPONSE TO COVID-19 EMERGENCY - Call for CryoEM Proposals

 

eBIC at Diamond Light Source is offering free remote access to our CryoEM
instruments for SPA, CryoET and CryoFIB/SEM. In addition a range of
synchrotron instruments available at Diamond (see below) to help research
aimed at combatting the COVID-19 outbreak. Proposals are subject to light
touch rapid review. This applies equally to users from all countries.

  

The short rapid access proposal can be accessed here:
<https://www.diamond.ac.uk/covid-19/for-scientists/rapid-access.html>
https://www.diamond.ac.uk/covid-19/for-scientists/rapid-access.html

  

 

Details:

In line with UK government recommendations to help slow down the spread of
the COVID-19 disease ( <https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus>
https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus) Diamond will be running restricted
operations for the foreseeable future and will not be accommodating any
users on site.

 

For the month of April we are aiming to perform only remote access work
relevant to the COVID-19 outbreak. We are running a limited service with
Instruments available according to demand at eBIC for SPA and CryoET. We are
also happy to discuss proposals for CryoFIB milling of samples for
tomography.
