Service Charges

Usage fees cover costs for user support and consumables. This is in accordance with the DFG guidelines for Research Infrastructure, and we seek accreditation with DFG. This means funds to cover usage fees can be requested as part of grant proposals to the DFG, the BMBF, and the European Community. We will be happy to support users in applying for funds. Short-term research projects (requiring ≤ 35 h) are free of charge. For larger scale projects that require extensive user support, SequAna and project leader decide about additional fees or alternative agreements.

Current DFG guidelines regarding the usage of funds to pay for core facility services state (taken from: www.dfg.de/formulare/55_04/55_04_de.pdf).
