A National User Facility for the Scientific Community

User Access

To use the resources at EMSL, we encourage you to contact one of the people associated with a facility or instrument. Then submit a user proposal via the EMSL User Portal. The User Proposal Process can take from a few days to several weeks, depending on the scope of your project. All users and their institutions must sign an EMSL User Agreement and agree to abide by the terms of the User Agreement prior to using EMSL facilities or capabilities. All users must also be cognizant of, and abide by, EMSL standard practices and procedures.

There are specific badging and access requirements specific to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals and terms of agreement for using EMSL.

For more information, contact Nancy Foster-Mills, EMSL User Administration Manager (509-371-6009).
