5th NSF Large Facilities Operations Workshop which will be held April 24-26, 2012 hosted by Michigan State University at National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory(NSCL)

该奖项将为第五届NSF大型设施运行研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会将于2012年4月24日至26日在密歇根州立大学国家超导回旋加速器实验室（NSCL）举办。NSF大型设施运营研讨会自2008年以来每年举行一次，为讨论最佳实践和分享从NSF资助的大型设施的运营经验中吸取的教训提供了一个论坛。讲习班将强调促进密切的互动和建立新的联系，以促进国家科学基金会大型设施在操作方面的持续改进努力。本次研讨会将讨论劳动力发展等长期问题。它也是在代表NSF学科的广泛阵列的设施中交叉施肥最佳实践的绝佳场所。

This award provides partial support for the 5th NSF Large Facilities Operations Workshop, which will be hosted by Michigan State University on the site of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), April 24-26, 2012. The NSF Large Facilities Operations Workshop has been held annually since 2008 and provides a forum for discussing best practices and sharing lessons learned from operational experiences at the NSF-funded large facilities. The workshop will emphasize fostering close interactions and making new contacts to facilitate continuous improvement efforts in operational aspects of NSF large facilities. This workshop will address long-term issues such as workforce development. It is also an excellent venue for cross-fertilizing best practices at facilities representing a wide array of NSF disciplines.
