The goals of the user training and outreach component are to provide training to prepare biomedical researchers to perform experiments using the BioCAT resource and to engage in outreach activities to inform the scientific community about BioCAT capabilities and to recruit new user research projects. Each year, more than 70 new users come to the BioCAT Resource. We have developed a training program for all users regardless of the level of expertise of the users or the properties of their samples. Before coming to the beamline, even before submitting a proposal, users are encouraged to view our online user manuals and video tutorials available on the BioCAT webpage https://www.bio.aps.anl.gov, which provide the information users need to plan efficient and meaningful experiments. On-site users receive one-on-one, in-person training covering (1) operation of the beamline, (2) data collection strategies and techniques, (3) data reduction and (4) data interpretation. Training is also provided on all aspects of the data-to-interpretation process before and beyond allocated beam time. The BioCAT user community is characterized by a broad range of expertise. At one extreme are a few advanced users who require training only if changes have occurred since their previous visit, and at the other extreme are the majority of users, who initially have little or no experience with SAXS or Fiber Diffraction. Training follows a graded approach that bring novices up to speed quickly and that allows them to grow into more advanced practitioners as their skills mature. Training is also provided to the greater research community. BioCAT staff will engage in workshops, to provide training on all aspects of SAXS and Fiber Diffraction to new and existing communities. We will collect metrics that can tell us how effective our training programs have been and gather information that can indicate how they may be improved and how they can reach under-represented groups. Vigorous outreach activity by BioCAT staff has resulted in significant growth of the user community, sustaining a high level of beamline productivity. The recently revamped BioCAT web site contains complete information concerning BioCAT capabilities and includes material targeted to past, and prospective users. We will continue to develop new web content tailored to Inform the broader research community about the capabilities of BioCAT and how to obtain beam time. BioCAT will continue to distribute BioCAT-maintained data analysis tools to a broad user community. We will collect metrics that can tell us how effective our outreach programs have been and gather information that can indicate how they may be improved.

用户培训和外展部分的目标是提供培训以准备生物医学 研究人员使用BioCat资源进行实验，并从事外展活动以告知 关于生物抗体功能的科学界，并招募新的用户研究项目。每年，更多 超过70个新用户来到BioCat资源。我们已经为所有用户制定了培训计划 无论用户的专业水平或样品的属性如何。在来到 梁线甚至在提交建议之前，都鼓励用户查看我们的在线用户手册和视频 BioCat网页上可用的教程https://www.bio.aps.anl.gov，可提供信息用户 需要计划有效而有意义的实验。现场用户接受一对一的面对面培训 涵盖（1）梁线的操作，（2）数据收集策略和技术，（3）数据降低和（4） 数据解释。还提供了有关数据之间的所有方面和之前的培训 超出分配的光束时间。 BioCat用户社区的特征是广泛的专业知识。在 一个极端是少数高级用户，他们只有自上一班以来发生了更改时才需要培训 访问，另一个极端是大多数用户，他们最初几乎没有萨克斯州或没有经验 纤维衍射。训练是按照分级的方法进行的，该方法使新手迅速迅速加快，这允许 随着他们的技能成熟，他们成长为更高级的从业者。还提供了更大的培训 研究社区。 BioCat员工将参加研讨会，为萨克斯州的各个方面提供培训 纤维衍射到新的和现有的社区。我们将收集可以告诉我们的指标 培训计划已有并收集可以指示如何改进的信息以及如何 可以到达代表性不足的群体。 BioCat员工的剧烈宣传活动导致了重要的 用户社区的增长，维持高水平的光束生产率。最近改建的Biocat 网站包含有关BioCat功能的完整信息，并包含针对过去的材料， 和潜在的用户。我们将继续开发量身定制的新的Web内容，以告知更广泛的研究 社区关于BioCat的能力以及如何获得光束时间。 BioCat将继续分发 BioCat维护的数据分析工具给广泛的用户社区。我们将收集可以告诉我们如何的指标 有效的我们的外展计划并收集了可以表明它们可能如何的信息 改进。
