Located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the objective of MPlus is to provide access to the specialized technical expertise and equipment needed to solve metals processing issues that limit the development and implementation of emerging metals processing technologies. Research Proposal A single User Agreement allows access to any of the user facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. However, a separate Research Proposal must be submitted for each new project. Usually no direct cost is incurred by the user, except for special services. The user pays the entire project costs based on DOE guidelines for ORNL costs, but intellectual property rights generally belong to the user.
Special care is taken to protect proprietary information.
Email proposal forms to be submitted to the appropriate user center are under construction and should be available soon.
