<p>I'm an undergrad in physics and astronomy deciding to look into applying for time on a research telescope, and I'm not sure how to proceed with locating/finding telescopes that I can apply for time on. Specifically, I'm interested in looking at the chemical composition of protostellar disk(s). Any applicable information would be nice.</p>

How are you intending to find the chemical composition of protostellar disks? You probably need mid- to far-infrared spectroscopy of mm-wave observations or possibly radio observations? Your question is too vague to be helpful.
