The Biophysics Collaborative Access Team (User Training and Outreach)

用户培训和外联部分的目标是提供培训，以准备生物医学 研究人员利用BioCAT资源进行实验，并参与外联活动，以告知 向科学界介绍BioCAT的能力，并招募新的用户研究项目。每年，都有更多 超过70名新用户来到BioCAT资源。我们已经为所有用户制定了培训计划 而不考虑用户的专业水平或其样本的性质。在来到这里之前 Beamline，甚至在提交建议书之前，就鼓励用户查看我们的在线用户手册和视频 BioCAT网页https://www.bio.aps.anl.gov，上提供的教程，为用户提供信息 需要计划高效和有意义的实验。现场用户接受一对一的面对面培训 内容包括(1)光束线的操作，(2)数据收集战略和技术，(3)数据减少和(4) 数据解释。还提供了关于数据到解释过程的所有方面的培训 超出分配的波束时间。BioCAT用户社区的特点是拥有广泛的专业知识。在… 一个极端是少数高级用户，他们只有在自上一次使用后发生更改时才需要培训 访问，而另一个极端是大多数用户，他们最初对SAXS或 纤维衍射。培训遵循分级的方法，使新手快速掌握速度，这使得 随着他们技能的成熟，他们将成长为更高级的实践者。培训也提供给更大的 研究社区。BioCAT的工作人员将参加讲习班，提供关于SAXS和 纤维衍射到新的和现有的社区。我们将收集能够告诉我们我们的 培训计划一直在进行，并收集信息，表明如何改进这些计划，以及如何 可以接触到代表性不足的群体。BioCAT工作人员积极的外展活动取得了显著的成果 用户群体的增长，维持高水平的光束线生产力。最近修改的BioCAT 网站包含有关BioCAT能力的完整信息，并包括针对过去的材料， 和潜在用户。我们将继续开发新的网络内容，以便为更广泛的研究提供信息 社区关于BioCAT的能力以及如何获得束流时间。BioCAT将继续分发 BioCAT向广大用户社区提供维护的数据分析工具。我们将收集可以告诉我们如何 我们的外展计划一直是有效的，并收集信息，表明它们可能是 改进了。

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.
