Prospective applicants will need to complete and submit the Application Form before the deadline to be eligible. To assist with this, we encourage you to refer to the additional information provided in the Application Guidelines document. Please note that applicants will need to log in to Google to access the application form. The application form can be completed over multiple sessions as progress is saved automatically.
We encourage applicants to work together with their institutions in submitting their PEER application. The main role of the principal applicant is to work with other interested scientists and colleagues to determine the need for the microscope and ensure that the need is recognised by their institution. Applicants require institutional support to help demonstrate that the awarded microscope will have a sustainable impact.
