The Community Sequencing Program

A letter of intent is required to submit a proposal to the CSP. Letters for sequencing in FY2010 will be accepted between December 15, 2008 and January 30, 2009 and should be submitted using the web-based Work Initiation Process (WIP) interface. Proposals for bacterial and archaeal isolates should be submitted as brief white papers beginning in January 2009, will be accepted on a continuous basis and will be reviewed every three months. Submitters whose letters of intent are approved will receive further instructions via email.
