13\. [Detailed Experimental Matrix]{.underline}

> Provide a detailed experimental test matrix in tabular form. The
> matrix must show:

Planned experiments (for each instrument checked above give test
materials, temperature range, environment, other details about
experimental conditions and requested time on that instrument);

Replicates (if any) or why no replicates are planned;

If matrix is from a formal design of experiments, provide the
quantitative levels for each factor;

Please discuss with HTML contact for each instrument to estimate time.

**Test Matrix Table** *(insert in field box here, or send as file to
HTML per instructions on last page)*

14\. Previous Instrument Experience:

(List previous experience on each instrument checked in the above
tables.)

**     **

15\. [Sample Preparation]{.underline}:

Users must bring fully prepared samples to the HTML. (*Discuss
appropriate preparation techniques with HTML contact.*) Exceptions can
be made on a case-by-case basis. HTML can provide some sample
preparation for a fee. If you feel you may need this service, please
discuss it with your HTML contact. **[Users needing sample preparation
must provide up-front payment for this service.]{.underline}**

16\. [Verification of non-competition]{.underline}: The Department of
Energy funds the HTML to complement the research capabilities of
U.S.-based industry and universities with unique, state-of-the-art
expertise and equipment. It is the policy of the HTML not to compete
with private companies that provide testing services. In order to
satisfy our non-competition requirement, your response MUST identify one
or more instrument capabilities or features of the HTML User Program
that are UNIQUE, not available elsewhere.

> *Following are concepts which might be considered in composing your
> statement:*
>
> **\*** Users at the HTML are allowed to participate as hands-on
> researchers, and thus bring new knowledge back to their organizations;
>
> **\*** The HTML offers a unique combination of research instruments
> unavailable elsewhere;
>
> **\*** The HTML staff has essential expertise applicable to the
> proposed research problem;
>
> **\*** Working with the HTML staff provides a significant training or
> educational experience that is unavailable at "for-hire" testing
> facilities.
>
> **In your own words, please state the reason(s) you propose research
> at the HTML.**

17\. [Intent to Publish]{.underline}

As a condition for performing no-cost nonproprietary research at the
HTML, the Department of Energy requires Users to publish any publishable
results from their research (this supersedes publication requirements of
other funding agencies). Note: Proprietary Users are not required to
publish. ***HTML technical staff must be listed as co-authors and must
be given an opportunity to review the publication or presentation
abstract prior to submission.*** [The results must be submitted for
publication within six months of completion of the
research]{.underline}. Results are typically published in peer-reviewed
journals, proceedings, or presentations at technical conferences. Please
provide a plan for publication in journal or conference proceedings.

Title of journal: **     **

Name of conference: **     **

Date of anticipated submission: **     **

19\. If this proposal is accepted by the High Temperature Materials
Laboratory User Program, the spokesperson will receive via e-mail a
"Spokesperson Affirmation Statement" that contains the specific language
referred to in the following paragraph, as well as provisions related to
safety and other requirements governing research at the HTML and the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory. The Statement must be executed by the
spokesperson and received by the HTML Office prior to the start of
research at the HTML.

When research results are published, the acknowledgement statement
**[and]{.underline}** Disclaimer Notice contained in the "Spokesperson
Affirmation Statement" **[must]{.underline}** appear on each report,
manuscript or document submitted for publication.
