Proposal Guidelines

 

Proposal Guidelines (User self-funded access)

 

Before you start: Consider this list of European projects that offer funding for access. You may discover another project that suits your specific needs.

When to apply: Applications for access can be submitted at any time. 

Proposal application steps: There are six steps to the online application process, and you are guided through them step by step. 

  1. Select Service / Technology 
  2. Confirm Service / Technology Selection 
  3. Proposal Details 
  4. Build your Team 
  5. Exclude Reviewers 
  6. Confirm Proposal 

Integrative structural biology: Instruct advocates integrative structural biology, where multiple techniques give particular breadth to research, although we are happy to accept proposals for both single or multiple technologies.

Funding for travel and accommodation: For scientists from Instruct member countries,  from 2026 onwards, Instruct-ERIC can support up to 500€ of travel and accommodation costs or sample shipment costs for access visits (€ 550 for physical visits if you do not travel by air). For proposals selected before 2026, the travel and accommodation contribution is up to € 400 per visit, raised to 450€ for physical visits if you do not travel by air.

Access costs to the users: Users will cover the costs associated with their visit directly to the Instruct facility.

Who qualifies: All academic and commercial scientists can apply for access.
