Cryo-EM Access

What to expect when engaging with a centralized facility

Most facilities have an application form that will guide you through proposal requirements. Although the requirements vary by facility, generally you can expect to submit a research proposal for independent scientific and technical evaluation that speaks to the following:

• Scientific background and project significance
• Technical suitability and feasibility including descriptions of the sample and sample quality  

Individual facilities also offer different levels of service, which may include sample prep, grid screening, and cryo-EM training.
