Before filling out an application ...

On an online application form, please provide the details of following three PU activities:

1) To produce leading-edge SR usage and high-quality research results while using the following developed/upgraded facilities and promote expansion of intended research field,		1) and 2) are hereinafter referred to as “PU Proposal”.
2) To collaborate for beamline facility development/upgrade, and
3) User support.

Please make sure to consult beamline scientists individually before applying.

Since some of the items required on the application are different from those on general proposal application, instructions for such items are given below. Please follow the instructions below and make sure to enter all the required information. As for the items common to both PU and general proposal applications, please refer to this page.

We strongly recommend you to draft your application offline first using a MS Word template to avoid unexpected system failure while working on your application online.
