Please read through the BeamNetUS handbook to understand what BeamNetUS is, who we are, who is eligible to apply, and how to get started! The handbook gives an overview of the whole process and lets you know what to expect when you come to one of our facilities. Key to get started is to check what facilities we have using the resources on these pages and to contact the designated point of contact at the facility. They can check that your understanding of the capabilities is correct and a good match for what you want to do. Once you’ve decided to submit a proposal, get the template from this page and complete it!

The most recent proposal template can be found following this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1clx_ZnaWfIlhZEX3cPzLWw9p0GG73WJaRVZZ1mIXBVo/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.56plof8q8fdt

Download it as a word doc, edit, and save as pdf for upload through our submission portal.

We will provide an updated proposal template in the time leading up to our next call for proposals, in the second half of calendar year 2026.

Please see the User Handbook for the full review criteria (in section 10).
