Applications

This page contains details about application eligibility and procedure for access to ANSIR equipment and services. If you need more information, please contact the ANSIR Access Committee.

Who can apply

ANSIR equipment and services are available to all researchers in Australia and New Zealand.

Due to the high demand for ANSIR equipment and services, we prioritise access by the merit of research proposals. We provide general access to equipment and services, but specific arrangements can be made with the scientific coordinators, who can also assist with training. Please note that researchers must meet project operating costs.

Applications for use of facility equipment and services are processed as they are received. Access is assessed on merit and instrument availability judged by the ANSIR Access Committee. All applicants need to discuss their requirements with the Scientific Coordinators of the appropriate Facility or Service before submitting a formal proposal.

Please note: various types of portable instruments are in heavy demand, and therefore, potential users are urged to submit bids at your earliest opportunity.

Proposals should be submitted to the Chair of the ANSIR Access Committee, Dr Ron Hackney of the Australian National University.
