With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program in the Division of Chemistry and the National Facilities Program in the Division of Materials Research, Linda Magid of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville is organizing a 3-day workshop at Florida State University. The workshop has the following three goals:a) To inform the chemistry and chem-bio communities of opportunities at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and at the Center for Nanophase Materials Science (CNMS), both at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL). b) To query the community re: needs for instrumentation and sample environment development, among others.c) To develop concept teams that would be responsible for developing science cases and funding proposals for instrumentation, sample environments, supporting lab facilities, best practices for education of new users, and fellowship programs. This award will provide travel support and subsistence for 50 grad students, postdocs and/or junior faculty as well as 30 invited speakers. The Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (JINS), and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University are also providing partial support. Beamlines at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) should be operational in 2006. Opportunities exist for scientific advances with neutron scattering and spectroscopic investigations there by chemists and by biologists working at the chemistry-biology interface. However, the number of active neutron users in the US among these communities is woefully small. This workshop will provide an opportunity to attract and inform potential new users in these communities.

在化学系化学研究仪器和设施(CRIF)计划和材料研究部国家设施计划的支持下，诺克斯维尔田纳西大学的Linda Magid将在佛罗里达州立大学组织一个为期3天的研讨会。讲习班有以下三个目标：a)向化学和化学-生物界通报散裂中子源(SNS)和纳米材料科学中心(CNMS)的机会，这两个中心都位于橡树岭国家实验室(ORNL)。C)开发概念团队，负责开发科学案例并为仪器、样品环境、支持实验室设施、新用户教育的最佳实践和奖学金计划提供资金。该奖项将为50名研究生、博士后和/或初级教师以及30名特邀演讲者提供旅费和生活费。联合中子科学研究所(JINS)和佛罗里达州立大学的国家高磁场实验室也提供了部分支持。橡树岭国家实验室(ORNL)散裂中子源(SNS)的光束线应于2006年投入使用。在那里，化学家和在化学-生物界面工作的生物学家进行的中子散射和光谱研究为科学进步提供了机会。然而，在这些社区中，美国活跃的中子使用者的数量少得可怜。该讲习班将提供一个机会，以吸引和告知这些社区的潜在新用户。
