Rates for Instrument Use
Ongoing operations of the Facility are funded in part by NSERC, NRC Canada and the University of Ottawa. Some of the costs associated with operating the facility will be covered through user fees. It should be understood that the implemented user fees cover only a fraction of the total costs of operation. The Steering Committee has adopted a simplified flat-rate user fees structure (effective October 1, 2011) :
| Canadian academic users | $CA 250 per day |
| Government, non-Canadian academic | $CA 500 per day |
| Industry | $CA 2500 per day |
| Technical assistance/operator | $CA 100 per hour |
The minimum charge is for one full day (24 hrs). An hourly rate is available for industrial clients ($CA 125 per hour). Priority/off-schedule access for service-for-fee clients is charged at double the normal rate (subject to the instrument time availability). The user fees cover use of the Facility, including magnet, console, probes and MAS rotors.
