[ccp4bb] New York City Integrative Structural Biology Symposium October 13, 2023 in NYC, NY, USA

[Ed Eng]

Dear all,

We are delighted to announce that the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) 
and New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) will host an NYC integrative 
structural biology symposium on October 13, 2023. The symposium will be held at 
the ASRC auditorium on the City College Campus in Manhattan. The meeting is 
planned as a physical, on-site meeting.

Integrative structural biology is a powerful approach to understand biological 
macromolecular systems. By combining computational methods with structural 
science disciplines, spatial and temporal models of macromolecular targets in 
their in-situ context can be determined. The focus of this symposium is to 
introduce integrative structural biology to our structural sciences community. 
The fields of light microscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, NMR, 
cryo-EM, and computational methods will be highlighted. The topics will cover 
the best practices and current research toward building structural models 
across different resolution scales. This symposium will also explore how 
experimental and computational methods can be integrated to address 
conformational changes, flexibility, and dynamics in macromolecular structures.

For further information as well as a list of Keynote and Invited speakers, see

Subject: NCCAT 2020-C3 New cryoEM access categories and proposal deadline - 
April 1, 2020 - NYC, USA

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce with NCCAT's dedicated Krios instruments coming 
online that we are expanding our access categories.

This cycle we are introducing two (2) new access categories:
1) Block Allocation Group (BAG) proposals that support regular instrumentation 
access for up to two years with multiple projects and/or investigators, and a
2) Rapid Access Program (RAP) that provides additional Krios sessions for 
active single-particle data collection projects.

These access categories join our existing lineup of services including the GUP 
access program for Krios and Chameleon sample preparation instrumentation, and 
the TP access program that assists users in the development of cryoEM skills 
needed for independent research.

The next application deadline for cryoEM access is April 1, 2020. NCCAT is 
committed to an open and transparent application process to ensure 
equal-opportunity nationwide access. For more information visit nccat.nysbc.org

[ccp4bb] NCCAT 2020 Announcing remote learning programs for cryoEM cross-training - NYC, USA

[Ed Eng]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the opening of NCCAT's Remote Learning Central 
website to provide opportunities for distance education:

https://nccat.nysbc.org/activities/nccat-remote-learning/

Our goals for remote learning are to allow the flexibility of virtual 
instruction for those that cannot come onsite combined with a self-paced 
program so students can effectively time manage their own schedules. Our 
overall cross-training mission is to support the biomedical research community 
in developing the skills needed for independent cryoEM research.

An important component of this initiative will be remote in-person office 
hours, round-tables on focused topics, and tutorials to complement our online 
content.

[ccp4bb] Accepting General User and Training Proposals to the National Center for CryoEM Access and Training (NCCAT) - NYC, USA

[Ed Eng]

Dear all,

Due to the success of our early access program, the National Center for CryoEM 
Access and Training (NCCAT; nccat.nysbc.org<http://nccat.nysbc.org>) announces 
the opening of additional access categories. The General User Proposal (GUP) 
program allows researchers to use NCCAT resources through a competitive review 
process. The Training Proposal (TP) program supports embedded user and/or 
facility management training.

Interested users should submit applications through the NCCAT proposal system 
at: http://nccat.nysbc.org/proposalcentral/ .

The four (4) available NCCAT proposal classes that users may apply for today 
are:
General User Proposals
1) GUP1: Data Collection (open)
Access for experienced users with pre-screened cryoEM samples in need of Titan 
Krios time.

2) GUP2: Sample preparation and screening (starting Q1 2019)
Access for users in need of staff-assisted sample preparation and screening 
resources with the intent of a follow on high-end instrumentation session. This 
initial cycle will support use of Chameleon (the commercialized version of 
Spotiton).

Training Proposals
3) TP1: Embedded Training (starting January 2019)
Training a scientist to become an independent cryoEM researcher. NCCAT staff 
will assist with access and trainings over an intensive immersion program. 
Users will be expected to bring a biological cryoEM project to drive their 
training program.

4) TP2: Facility Manager Training (starting this month)
Extended training to individuals who are responsible for managing, leading or 
training at their own facilities; these individuals will have considerably 
amplified impact when they return to their home institution.


NCCAT is a cryoEM service center funded by the NIH Common Fund 
(commonfund.nih.gov<http://commonfund.nih.gov>). Located at the Simons Electron 
Microscopy Center (semc.nysbc.org<http://semc.nysbc.org>), which is a part of 
the New York Structural Biology Center (nysbc.org<http://nysbc.org>) in New 
York City, the mission of NCCAT is twofold: to provide nationwide access to 
advanced cryoEM technical capabilities, and to assist users in the development 
of cryoEM skills needed for independent research. There is a rolling call for 
proposals with quarterly cycles 
(nccat.nysbc.org/proposalcentral/<http://nccat.nysbc.org/proposalcentral/>). 
Additional classes of proposals will be opened when the new NCCAT wing at NYSBC 
completes construction (expected the summer of 2019).

NCCAT is committed to an open and transparent application process to ensure 
equal-opportunity nationwide access. For more information see

[ccp4bb] Accepting General User Proposals to the National Center for CryoEM Access and Training (NCCAT) - NYC, USA

[Ed Eng]

Dear all,

The National Center for CryoEM Access and Training (NCCAT; 
nccat.nysbc.org<http://nccat.nysbc.org>) is a new cryoEM service center funded 
by the NIH Common Fund (https://commonfund.nih.gov/). Located at the Simons 
Electron Microscopy Center (semc.nysbc.org<http://semc.nysbc.org>), which is a 
part of the New York Structural Biology Center (nysbc.org<http://nysbc.org>) in 
New York City, the mission of NCCAT is twofold: to provide nationwide access to 
advanced cryoEM technical capabilities, and to assist users in the development 
of cryoEM skills needed for independent research.

We announce the opening of General User Proposal (GUP) applications for limited 
early access to instrument time. There will be a rolling call for proposals 
with quarterly cycles and access starting the beginning of Q4 2018 (October). 
This initial cycle supports single particle cryoEM data collection on one of 
our existing Titan Krios instruments using a Gatan K2 direct-electron detector. 
Applicants should have pre-screened cryoEM samples with pre-processing results 
(representative micrograph, 2D class averages, and initial reconstruction, if 
available) from the same batch of grids to be submitted for data collection at 
NCCAT. Additional classes of proposals will be opened when the new NCCAT wing 
at NYSBC completes construction (expected the summer of 2019).

NCCAT is committed to an open and transparent application process to ensure 
equal-opportunity nationwide access. For more information see 
http://nccat.nysbc.org/.

Interested users should submit applications through the NCCAT proposal system 
at: http://nccat.nysbc.org/proposalcentral/.

Best,
Ed Eng (NCCAT)
