2. Proposals, Cycle, Instruments Management

2.3 What should I do to validate the cloneable status of my proposal?

Review your proposal to ensure it is marked correctly if you want it cloned for the next instrument cycle.

2.4 What are the cloning options for proposals?

There are three cloning options:

  • Simple Clone: Clones the title, experimental team, PI (Principal Investigator), MP (Main Proposer), and Local Contact.
  • Advance Clone: Clones all elements of the Simple Clone plus run types and sample types.
  • Not Cloneable: The proposal will not be cloned for the next instrument cycle.

2.6 How often are the instrument cycles changed for commissioning proposals?

Instrument cycles are changed every six months.
