Proposal Review and Publication Policy

Applicants must submit a short High Temperature Materials Laboratory research proposal for review. It is recommended that the user contact the Group Leader and/or staff to be involved in the research effort prior to submitting the proposal. The HTML Proposal Review Committee meets monthly to evaluate proposals and make recommendations on their acceptance. It also recommends priorities for use of instruments within HTML user centers, consistent with DOE missions and objectives. Applicants are notified about decisions normally no later than 2 weeks after review by the committee.

Users conducting nonproprietary research must agree that results will be submitted for publication in the open literature no more that 6 months after such research is concluded, and must be co-authored by the appropriate HTML researchers. Nonproprietary research at the HTML is usually conducted at no direct cost to the user, although occasionally charges are assessed for unusual services.

Users conducting proprietary research must pay a full cost recovery fee. In proprietary projects all the data and results are the property of the user and there is no publication requirement.
