How to apply for use of NIGL's facilities If you are interested in applying for use of the isotope facilities at the NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory then the first step is to contact a member of staff with the appropriate expertise (see staff list). After preliminary discussions an application form should be filled in and returned to NIGL. A Steering Committee assesses submissions to NIGL twice a year, in spring and autumn. The deadline for submission of applications to the May 2013 meeting of the NIGFSC is 3rd April 2013. Completed drafts should be made available to facility collaborators well in advance of this deadline. The revised NIGFSC application form is now available. Please read the guidance notes before completing the form.

Remit The NERC Isotope Geosciences Facilities Steering Committee exists to: review applications for usage of the NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory (NIGL) and also for the Argon Isotope Facility (AIF), the Isotope Community Support Facility (ICSF) and the Open University U-Series Facility (OUUSF)		monitor outputs from the four Facilities provide advice to NERC Director Science and Innovation on aspects of the operations of the facilities Director Science and Innovation, in turn, provides advice to the Science and Innovation Strategy Board of Council on Services and Facilities relevant to their remit.

Terms of reference for the NIGFSC To review applications and establish priorities for the heads of the facilities, for the allocation of those of the facilities' resources funded from the Services and Facilities Science Budget, taking into account recommendations made through the NERC peer-review mechanisms. To review the scientific quality of work undertaken by users of the facilities, based on reports and publications. To monitor the levels of user-satisfaction with the facilities and to analyse their user-bases. To give guidance to the heads of facility on improvement of the facilities' equipment, and on their service function. To receive annually a report from each head of facility. To report annually to the Director Science and Innovation and to provide advice at other times as appropriate.		To advise NERC Director Science and Innovation on: the level and direction of the internal R&D programme for the facility anticipated changes in requirements from the facility and the consequential anticipated levels of future demand for the facility other matters as appropriate. Membership constraints Membership of the committee will be decided by the Director of Science and Innovation with any advice from the Science and Innovation Strategy Board and suggestions from the committee itself. It will include the Superintending Officers of the facilities and a representative from Scientific Facilities and Technology Group, NERC Swindon Office. Members, other than ex-officio members will be invited to serve for a term of up to four years with a maximum extension of a further two years. The chairperson will serve a maximum of four years.
