<p class="MsoNormal">Pacific Northwest CryoEM Center wants to remind the cryoEM community that we are now offering a new proposal type called ‘Screening Access’ for users with limited or no cryoEM sample preparation access. For more information, go <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pncc.labworks.org_access_choose-2Daccess-2Dtype&d=DwMFAg&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=vMf--Z3mgXhUxxc2e7DCHsKGYEMdTI6bJOELaG2suXfiFAV0viqNjPi6H5WYu076&s=xxAlhBUo3mur9ILyS1wbdEXqX2ktvlHz9rbSHawhWEQ&e=" target="_blank">here</a>.
The next application deadline for this new proposal type is March 1<sup>st</sup> at 11:59pm (Pacific).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope this new mechanism will enable investigators lacking access to local cryoEM resources and help foster new investigators interested in entering the field of cryoEM. Please share this information with your colleagues that could benefit
from this type of access.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello CryoEM Researchers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PNCC has many changes that are occurring starting in January 2022.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Firstly, PNCC is offering a new proposal type called ‘Screening Access’ for users with limited or no cryoEM sample preparation access. For more information, go
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pncc.labworks.org_access&d=DwMFAg&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=vMf--Z3mgXhUxxc2e7DCHsKGYEMdTI6bJOELaG2suXfiFAV0viqNjPi6H5WYu076&s=GGa6e6_kWddulHiDfR_fzaiIKBsuillhVNTDzxU7nCY&e=">here</a>. The first application deadline for this new proposal type is February 1<sup>st</sup> at 11:59pm (Pacific).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Secondly, in agreement with the CryoEM National Centers we have revised our General Access application to offer common criteria to users for the research proposals. PNCC has changed this for the February 1<sup>st</sup> submission deadline.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thirdly, we have revised our PNCC Scheduling Policies to correspond with the application changes that we have made. Please review our scheduling policies
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pncc.labworks.org_access_scheduling-2Dpolicies&d=DwMFAg&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=vMf--Z3mgXhUxxc2e7DCHsKGYEMdTI6bJOELaG2suXfiFAV0viqNjPi6H5WYu076&s=I6oZGxreB0Qc-us8SuWVcqrkEs9FsmhCXc3i7tL-exU&e=">here</a>. Of note, we have rolled out a sample submission form for the new ‘Screening Access’ proposals and have edited our policy for shipping grids back to users. We have also provided more information
for screening services offered. The new policies will be enforced starting March 1<sup>st</sup>, 2022.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, we are planning to start offering on-site workshops again in addition to our remote workshops. Please check
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pncc.labworks.org_training_workshops&d=DwMFAg&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=L7-zyQ-04fFCMRqzLIOnx7H0exGZHwIQe_wMPuY600I&m=vMf--Z3mgXhUxxc2e7DCHsKGYEMdTI6bJOELaG2suXfiFAV0viqNjPi6H5WYu076&s=bwTD2KZ_8csXz_sRiL7I85ElBkBkUGqfnh8Dz2tpwUM&e=">here</a> to see when we are offering all workshops.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is to 2022!<o:p></o:p></p>
