CALL

ACCESS to NANBIOSIS

NANBIOSIS ICTS offers access to its services to all interested national and international users who may come from the public or the private sector and can apply to them under the “Competitive Open Access” or “Access on Demand” modalities.

Competitive Open Access. NANBIOSIS units offer at least 20% of the total service capacity of their essential infrastructures under this modality. Service requests get shortlisted following an evaluation process, based on the scientific and technical quality of the proposals as well as their singularity. This evaluation is carried out on two annual cut-off dates by the NANBIOSIS Access Committee.

Access on Demand. Access application forms submitted after the Open Access Call deadlines or not prioritized by the Access Committee shall be considered as access on demand.

Evaluation

The Access Application Form, “Order Request”, includes sections related to the evaluation criteria for the consideration of the Access Committee to establish the priority of the accesses approved in each call.

All applications that are linked to R&D Projects funded by national or European competitive calls, meet the minimum required quality, and, consequently, are automatically approved, without prejudice to the evaluation process, based on the quality and singularity criteria.

If the existence of a competitively financed overarching project is not demonstrated, applicants can justify the scientific-technical quality or uniqueness of their proposal and get shortlisted based on one or more of the remaining criteria in the Application Form.

It is recommended to fill out all the different sections of the application form, select among the free options, and explain the criteria, to facilitate the evaluation process.

Service Delivery

After the call is closed, the applications will be evaluated by the Access Committee according to the Access Protocol and the prioritization results will be published in the NANBIOSIS website in 15 days. The units proposed in the applications form will contact the selected applicants to schedule the services according to their service requests.

The execution of the accesses approved in each call will be carried out within the time till the next call except for the access of a longer duration, following the planning agreed upon with the corresponding unit.

NANBIOSIS reserves the right to encourage certain services that coincide with the strategic lines of the ICTS through subsidized rates or projects co-funding.
