Simple requests for facility use, such as methods development, single-instrument characterizations, or simple modeling needs, will be submitted as a Service/Sample Request. Service/Sample Requests are intended to lead to Project Proposals. Your Project Advocate can help you determine the proper request mechanism.
If you already have a Project Advocate and have discussed your needs with that person, proceed to the “Request GlycoMIP Scientific Services” section below. If you have not yet spoken with anyone about working with GlycoMIP, you can contact us (opens in a new tab)
and we will connect you with a Project Advocate, a faculty member with subject expertise, who will guide you through the process.
Project Advocate
Project Advocate details
A Project Advocate will be assigned to all GlycoMIP user projects. A subject-matter expert, the Project Advocate will work directly with users to develop feasible Service/Sample Requests and Project Proposals. The Project Advocate will guide the user throughout the duration of the project.
Project Advocates are designated GlycoMIP Leadership Team members, GlycoMIP faculty members, or Scientific Staff members.
To begin the process, you will need to contact us (opens in a new tab).

How to request GlycoMIP services
Following a discussion with your Project Advocate to determine if you need aService/Sample Request or Project Proposal, submit a User Request using the link below.
Fee Structure
Fee structure details
All scientific services will be charged for consumable supplies required to complete the work. Estimates of the cost of consumable supplies will be provided by the Project Advocate and agreed upon by the user prior to the start of work.
For non-proprietary, U.S.-based research, use of GlycoMIP resources and reasonable staff time are not charged fees, with the exception of consumables.
