Occasionally, a timely research opportunity may justify access to CNM between announced user proposal cycles. Rapid access user proposals are submitted via the same general proposal system but can be submitted at any time. There is no special form or selection for rapid access; the proposal itself should state the request (e.g., in the abstract). The request is evaluated by internal CNM staff. The proposal should clearly demonstrate a need for immediate access to conduct well-focused, short-term work (generally five days of equipment or capability access) with extremely high-impact potential. Only one rapid access request per two years is allowed.
