If the capabilities at the CHESS-XLEAP facility will be useful for your research, we strongly encourage you to convey your intent to use CHESS-XLEAP facilities in your proposal submissions, especially to US NSF-BIO, by including the sentence: 'This research will make use of the facilities and resources at the CHESS-XLEAP facility, under construction by award USNSF-BIO-2330043, scheduled to open for user operations in 2028.’
As the project scientist for XLEAP, Louisa is committed to bringing cutting-edge x-ray capabilities to CHESS.
