MERIT ACCESS

Merit proposals are peer-reviewed for scientific merit and technical feasibility by external scientific reviewers and a specialist committee. Based on these reviews, proposals are then ranked for each beamline, and all applicants are notified by the user office of the outcomes.

USER PORTAL

Use this portal to submit proposals and subsequent experiments for access to the Australian Synchrotron.

Please refer to SG-ISAP's Quick Reference Guide for assistance on submission in the user portal.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE

1. No change of approved PI, title, scope of project or requested beam shifts is allowed when the proposal is submitted to the ANSTO website.
2. Please ensure all information required is included in full proposal submission. Please include enough details to either assess the technical feasibility or to justify the need to use synchrotron radiation to answer your research question.
3. Please get in touch with respective AS beamline scientists when you are preparing your full proposals. This is to avoid proposals being marked as infeasible.
