The Community Sequencing Program

Proposals for small-scale microbial and metagenome projects may be submitted at any time as brief white papers and will be reviewed every three months. Deadline for submission is 30 days prior to the review.  See proposal schedule for specific dates.

For all other project types, a letter of intent is required to submit a proposal to the CSP. Submitters whose letters of intent/proposals are approved will receive further instructions via email.

Submit microbial/metagenome white papers (anytime), letters of intent (during the submission period) and full proposals (if invited) using the Work Initiation Process (WIP) interface.
