Visiting Scientist Program
Visiting Scientist Program
The National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) offers a program that gives participants the opportunity to conduct research and use the facility's advanced transmission electron microscopes.
This program is intended for recently appointed faculty/investigator electron microscopists, resident in the U.S., Canada or Mexico, who:
• are in the process of setting up new facilities or awaiting delivery of new equipment;
• could benefit from using NCEM’s unique instrumentation and interacting with our staff.
Awards are based on the recommendations of the NCEM Proposal Review Committee.
Research should be completed within 18 months of the award. Each award will be supported up to a maximum of $6,000. Levels of support will be determined by NCEM. Award funds are to be used only to assist with travel and living expenses during the visit period.
The application consists of 2 parts:
1) regular user proposal to be submitted online following the model available on the web.
2) a broader explanation of the background and benefit of the work to your career. Complete this part by clicking and completing this form.
The twice-yearly deadlines for applications are March 15 and September 15.
