Questions and exclusions

Required questions

Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
Does the official source support the opportunity identity, status, timing, eligibility, and access constraints?
Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
Is the proposed fit specific and proportionate without implying availability, invitation, selection, or funding?
Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
What deadline, rule, jurisdiction, cost, conflict, or accessibility fact would change the proposed next action?

Explicit exclusions

Review does not submit, register, apply, contact, commit, purchase, or establish eligibility.
Provider prestige and apparent fit cannot replace current official terms.

Requested controlled scopes: ecosystem-due-diligence, opportunity-eligibility-access

Frozen-evidence decision window: 30 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.

Complete primary record set

Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.

Provider
DOE JGI
Kind
No-cost scientific user program
Timing
Mixed current calls: New Investigator proposals are due September 8, 2026 and Functional Genomics proposals are due January 29, 2027; FICUS, CSP Large Scale, and the listed critical-minerals call are closed.
Fit
Microbiomes, crops, waste loops, and systems biology
Status
active; call-specific
Verified At
2026-07-25
Current Until
2026-08-01
Eligibility
JGI lists call-specific investigator and mission-fit requirements. The New Investigator call is for people who have not been principal investigator on an approved JGI proposal; the broader user program requires relevance to DOE missions.
Access Notes
Accepted user proposals receive sequencing, synthesis, metabolomics, and analysis services at no cost; this is facility access, not a cash grant. Data, publication, sample, user-agreement, and biosafety obligations must be reviewed.
Founder Action
Define a publishable microbiome, crop, waste-loop, or systems-biology question and engage only through the matching official call after confirming eligibility, data policy, samples, and biosafety; seek authorization before submission.
Evidence Boundary
Official JGI user-program page reviewed. Current call states and dates are explicit, but scientific merit, investigator status, mission relevance, acceptance, and resource availability were not independently established.
Relationship
indexed only; no formal relationship
Action Status
proposed; not undertaken
Conflicts
Biological safety, genomic data governance, publication obligations, sample ownership, and dual-use biological concerns require expert review.
What Would Change
Call amendments, a qualified investigator and host institution, preliminary data, a defined sample plan, or revised DOE mission priorities would change the assessment.

Frozen source snapshots

Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.

Validate offline

Use Node.js 22.13.0 or later. Keep the packet, worksheet, completed decision, and all six kit files together in a local directory.

Download the six kit files below. Complete a copy of the JSON template offline and preserve its templateFingerprint.
Finalize a separate output file.
```
node finalize-review-decision.mjs \
  --input DRAFT.json \
  --output COMPLETED.json
```
This marks the copy complete and calculates an unkeyed canonical bundle fingerprint. A fingerprint detects changes; it is not a reviewer signature.
Validate the packet and completed copy.
```
node check-review-decisions.mjs \
  --packet PACKET.json \
  --decision COMPLETED.json
```
Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.
Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.

Completion criteria

Every primary record must receive the required number of valid, current-fingerprint approvals; every complementary scope group and required domain must be covered; any unresolved revise, contest, or reject disposition blocks publication.

Named medical, reproductive, nuclear, radiation, cybersecurity, governance, and dual-use conclusions require two distinct qualified independent humans covering complementary domain-method and rights/public-interest scopes.

Reviewer identity, qualification, independence, conflicts, and compensation must be assessed by accountable human governance; local validation can only report structural validity.
Approve, revise, contest, reject, and recuse remain visible. A negative finding cannot be hidden by an aggregate approval percentage.
Revision creates a new record and packet fingerprint. Prior approvals do not carry forward automatically.
AI may assist with clerical comparison but cannot count as an independent reviewer, identity attestor, appeal authority, or second person.
