The assessment process

Access to all iNEXT DIscovery facilities is available through an open, peer review system based on scientific excellence and the potential of each project for enabling translational research (i.e. to connect structural biology research to applications in biomedical, biotechnological, biomaterial, food, or environmental research). 

Proposals are assessed for their:

1. Scientific Excellence

2. Relevance for Translational Research in Health, Biotechnology, or nanomaterials

3. Scientific Track Record

4. Technical Feasibility

For more information and scoring criteria see the iNEXT Discovery website

All applications are submitted for peer review by a panel of experts. Proposal funding is approved based on scientific merit, and reviewers offer constructive advice for improvements where this would benefit the research proposal.

Instruct advocates integrative structural biology, where multiple techniques give particular breadth to research, although we are happy to accept proposals for both single or multiple technologies.
