Program Advisory Committee

The FRIB Program Advisory Committee (PAC) is a group of international experts who review non-proprietary beam-time requests submitted to FRIB. The committee reviews proposals for scientific merit, consistent with U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science policy and U.S. law. PAC makes recommendations to the FRIB Laboratory Director about beam-time allocation.

FRIB PAC meetings occur approximately once per year. 

The full list of the PAC-recommended experiments is available here.

Information about calls for proposals

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) User Facility, open to all interested researchers, subject to applicable laws and DOE-SC regulations. Beam time for non-proprietary experiments is granted based on a merit review of proposals. There is no charge for users who are doing non-proprietary work, with the understanding that they are expected to publish their results. The FRIB Program Advisory Committee (PAC3) meeting dates: 15-17 January 2025
