Application: Service requests for the first call of the INFRAFRONTIER-I3 mouse production service can be made via the application form below. Please fill the editable PDF form below, save it under a specific name (i.e. your name) and send it to vasb@vasensebagvre.rh by 31st March 2013. Applications for the Transnational Access activity must be accompanied by a short description of the project involving the resources being produced by the INFRAFRONTIER-I3 mouse production service. In addition to this call two more calls with 10 access units each will be published in Autumn 2013 and Spring 2014, respectively.

Service requests from eligible customers for free of charge access to the INFRAFRONTIER-I3 mouse production capacities will be subject to a review procedure which will be initiated after calls for TA applications are closed. The review will be based on short descriptions of the projects involving the resources being generated by the TA service. Members of the INFRAFRONTIER-I3 project and of the external INFRAFRONTIER Evaluation Committee will assess service requests supported by the TA activity. In addition to scientific merit, the selection panel will try to ensure free access is granted to those users who have not previously benefited from this scheme. Only one access unit will be granted to a Principal Investigator per call. Applicants will be informed on the outcome of the evaluation within 6 weeks after the end of the call for which the TA application was submitted.
