<UL>
<LI>For single visit proposals for neutron instruments, select round “November
2009 Neutron”
<LI>For 3 year program proposals for neutron instruments, select “November
2009 Neutron Program”
<LI>ForNational Deuteration Facility proposals, select round<STRONG>
</STRONG>"November 2009 - Deuteration”</LI></UL>
<P><B>Experimental reports and Publications</B></P>
<P>Users who have carried out experiments on one of the neutron-beam instruments
are required to complete an <B>experimental report</B> and to enter relevant
<B>publications</B> in the on-line user portal. Both can be submitted
on-line under the “<I>Completed Experiments</I>” link on your home page on the
portal. Note that the Program Advisory Committee will consider the track records
of our users when awarding beamtime.</P>
<P>The application is for beam-time requests and<I> does not include travel or
accommodation support</I>. However, successful applications from researchers
from <A href="http://www.ainse.edu.au/about_ainse/member_universities"
target=_blank><FONT color=#0079c2>AINSE member institutions</FONT></A> will
automatically be forwarded to AINSE for consideration of travel/accommodation
support. </P>
