Dear colleagues,
We would like to remind you that the deadline for proposal submission to
utilize the pre-commercial imaging instruments at Howard Hughes Medical
Institute at Janelia is fast approaching. The proposal submission deadline
is August 15, 2014.
We are happy to provide technical consultation, if needed, prior to your
proposal submission. Please feel free to contact us.
This is the original Call-for-Proposals:
------
The Advanced Imaging Center (AIC) at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus is
jointly sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Gordon
and Betty Moore Foundation. Our mission is to make cutting-edge,
pre-commercial microscopes developed at Janelia available to visiting
scientists, maximizing the impact of the latest developments in optical
instruments and emerging microscopy technologies.
We encourage applications from scientists who are addressing significant
scientific questions that require measurements of cellular/molecular
behavior at spatial and/or temporal resolutions that would only be
possible for them through access to the AIC.
Under the Program, visiting scientists will spend 1-2 weeks (or longer if
there is justified scientific reason) at Janelia to conduct experiments on
the scope with the support of the AIC team.
The currently available microscopes, which provide advanced capabilities
that are not yet widely available, are:
- Interferometric photoactivated localization microscope (iPALM)
- Single-molecule total internal reflection fluorescence (smTIRF)
microscope
- Aberration-corrected multifocus microscope (acMFM)
- Lattice light sheet microscope (2nd generation bessel beam microscope)
- Live cell multicolor structured illumination microscope (SIM)
Our website,
http://www.janelia.org/aic provides more details about these
unique instruments.
Our first Call-for-Proposals begins today, July 15, 2014, and closes on
August 15, 2014. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific merit
through a two-tier review process by AIC/Janelia scientists and by a
review panel of scientists from HHMI/Janelia, GBMF, and extramural
imaging experts. Additional information and instructions on how apply
are available here:
http://www.janelia.org/aicScientists whose proposals are selected will travel to Janelia to use the
facility. The Janelia Visitor Program will cover the cost of lodging for
the visiting scientist, experiments, technical support from our
applications scientists, and scope time for researchers whose proposals
are accepted.
