This grant request is for the continued salary support of a highly skilled individual based at the University of Victoria who is an essential resource for subatomic physics and accelerator physics projects in Canada. The previous grant supported Paul Poffenberger until December 2017 and his replacement, Sam de Jong since September 2017. Both are detector technologists who have made and are making crucial contributions to flagship Canadian subatomic and accelerator physics projects, and his expertise is needed to maintain existing detector systems and to help develop new systems, in collaboration with subatomic physicists across Canada. Research programs that have benefited from this support include ALPHA, ARIEL, ATLAS, Belle II, T2K, and the International Linear Collider. The MRS at UVic leverages resource investments from TRIUMF as part of the Victoria Subatomic Physics and Accelerator Research Centre (VISPA). The resource is overseen by a prioritization board, in common with the SAP MRS resources at Carleton University. Previously, the resources included Queens University but their MRS grant was not renewed in 2018. The board facilitates access to the MRS facilities by reviewing new requests for their use. Should the resources become oversubscribed, the board would rank the requests based on standard NSERC criteria. The MRS managers at the institutes would use this ranking to assign manpower as it becomes available as on-going tasks are completed. The Board meets several times a year and is given information about the progress and status of on-going work undertaken by the MRS employees.

这项赠款申请是为了继续为维多利亚大学的一名高技能个人提供工资支助，他是加拿大亚原子物理和加速器物理项目的重要资源。之前的拨款支持保罗·波芬伯格到2017年12月，以及他的继任者山姆·德容自2017年9月以来。两人都是探测器技术人员，他们已经并正在为加拿大旗舰亚原子和加速器物理项目做出关键贡献，他的专业知识是维护现有探测器系统并与加拿大各地的亚原子物理学家合作帮助开发新系统所必需的。受益于这种支持的研究项目包括Alpha、Ariel、ATLAS、Belle II、T2K和国际直线对撞机。UVIC的MRS利用TRIUMF的资源投资，作为维多利亚亚原子物理和加速器研究中心(VISPA)的一部分。该资源由优先排序委员会监督，与卡尔顿大学的SAP MRS资源一样。以前，这些资源包括皇后大学，但他们的MRS补助金在2018年没有续签。委员会通过审查新的使用请求来促进MRS设施的使用。如果资源被超额认购，董事会将根据标准的NSERC标准对申请进行排名。各研究所的人力资源管理人员将使用这一排名来分配人力，因为随着正在进行的任务的完成，这一排名变得可用。董事会每年举行几次会议，并得到关于MRS员工正在进行的工作的进展和状况的信息。
