Fragment-Screen (FS) open call for staff exchange
Instruct is launching a new access call which will provide dedicated support to access projects of ECRs in the field of integrated structural biology. The intent of this support is to promote early independence of researchers to become competitive for external funding for independent projects.
3rd Challenge-Driven Call on “Revolutionising Cancer Patient Care” open to researchers of all countries. The primary objective of this call is to improve treatment and patients' outcome through innovative ways to address clinical trials and research. Call text: www.canserv.eu/calls
Instruct-ERIC, in a joint action with EU-LAC Res Infra plus, is launching its Fourth International Call.
Instruct-ERIC provides access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology to support research in structural biology. Our aim is to encourage and facilitate the integrative use of technologies and methodologies that are available at Instruct Centres.
2nd Challenge-Driven Call on “Reaching an Understanding of Cancer” open to researchers of all countries. The primary objective of this call is to accelerate research and enhance knowledge on the understanding of cancer. The call text can be found here: www.canserv.eu/calls

This allows Users to submit a pre-proposal to ReMade to receive scientific support to develop their idea into a full proposal for submission to the project.
Access marine biological resources and related services offered by EMBRC partners
Academic and commercial scientists from Instruct Member Countries and organisations can apply for funded access.
Researchers worldwide can still apply for access to Instruct-related infrastructure at the academic rate or through other EC programmes. Explore our partner European projects.
canSERV offers cutting-edge research services to the cancer research community - supported by Instruct-ERIC structural biology centres.
iNEXT-Discovery brings together structural biology technologies from across Europe, with a focus on translational research.
Before you start: Consider this list of European projects that offer funding. You may discover another project that suits your specific needs.
Timeframe: Please allow up to two months for the review process. The initial peer review process plus technical evaluation takes roughly 4-6 weeks. A review panel will then meet every second month to make a final decision on approval.
Instruct selection panel will meet every 2 months. Proposals submitted up until 30 days prior the panel review date will be considered for this round of review. Proposals submitted after that date might have to be considered for the next round of panel review if the scientific evaluation is still pending.
In 2024, the panel meetings are expected to take place on the 9th of July, in September and November.
When to apply: Applications for access can be submitted at any time. Periodically, special calls for access will be published with a defined deadline. These special calls carry specific criteria, so please read the calls carefully.
Users should apply only when they are ready to make use of the Instruct facility (samples ready). Users are expected to finalise their visit within 6 months (max 1 year) after proposal approval. Applicants should demonstrate in their application that they can start with the access visit immediately (show preliminary data...)
Proposal application steps: There are six steps to the online application process, and you are guided through them step by step.
Integrative structural biology: 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.
Funding for travel and accommodation: Instruct-ERIC can fund the travel and accommodation for access visits. For more information on what Instruct-ERIC pays for, consult Funding for Access. For remote access, these funds can be used towards sample shipment costs.
Who qualifies: Academic and commercial scientists from Instruct Member Countries and organisations can apply for funded access. More information on who can apply.
Your ARIA profile: Remember to update your profile, since this acts as your CV for all online applications. You can edit your profile at the end of your dashboard page.
More information: See the proposal submission help guide, access policy or contact us.
Moderator and Reviewer Guidelines: Find out more about the evaluation criteria and process here.
Criteria for selection: The main criteria for selection are scientific excellence, impact and feasibility of the research project. If needed, softer selection criteria might be taken into consideration by the selection panel such as:
-gender balance,
-geographical distribution of users,
-new users vs frequent users (consider recent proposals awarded through Instruct),
-availability of resources in the home lab.
-facility usage,
Please be aware that follow-up proposals or proposals requesting access to facilities in their own Institution might not be prioritised by the selection panel.
