The Biophysics Collaborative Access Team (Admin - Core)

在其20多年的运营中，生物物理协同访问团队(BioCAT)开发了 运行其成熟的同步加速器光束线18ID的高效和有效的行政程序 阿贡国家实验室高级光子源(APS)。伊利诺伊州莱蒙特BioCAT正式成为 伊利诺伊理工学院生物科学系， 伊利诺伊州芝加哥。行政支助来自主管研究的副教务长办公室、 赞助研究项目，合同和赠款会计，采购，人力资源和 IIT的工资单。所有其他活动由主要设在APS的CAT管理人员管理。这个 BioCAT执行委员会，在BioCAT外部咨询委员会的咨询和监督下 (EAC)，为Beamline 18ID的开发和运营提供全面的科学和技术指导。 执行委员会与APS通用用户建议系统协调，监督用户计划 用于访问BioCAT资源，包括用户波束时间安排。它还提供了管理 支持APS报告要求以及安全计划的管理，包括生物安全和 APS、ANL和美国能源部要求的生物危害控制。它还收集与光束线有关的指标 业务、用户方案、培训和外联，用于编写提交给 NIH，以及结转和补充请求。

In its over 20 years of operation, the Biophysics Collaborative Access Team (BioCAT) has developed efficient and effective administrative procedures for the operation of its mature synchrotron beamline 18ID at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory. Lemont, IL. BioCAT is formally part of the Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science at The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Chicago Illinois. Administrative support comes from the Office of the Vice-Provost for Research, the Office of Sponsored Research Programs, Contract and Grant Accounting, Procurement, and Human Resources and payroll at IIT. All other activities are managed by the CAT management located primarily at the APS. The BioCAT Executive Committee, with the advice and oversight of the BioCAT External Advisory Committee (EAC), provides overall scientific and technical guidance for the development and operation of Beamline 18ID. The Executive Committee, in concert with the APS General User Proposal system, oversees the user program for access to the BioCAT resource, including user beam time scheduling. It also provides administrative support for APS reporting requirements, and the administration of the safety programs, including biosafety and control of biohazards required by APS, ANL, and the DOE. It also collects metrics relating to beamline operations, the user program, training and outreach that are used in the preparation of annual reports to the NIH, as well as carryover and supplement requests.
