Shared Facilities Operations Workshop 2018

2018年共享设施运营研讨会将召集一组高级调查员和工作人员科学家/设施管理人员，讨论共享设施运行中的关键问题，特别是与美国材料研究基础设施的进步有关。参与者将从三个不同的国家科学基金会材料研究计划部门支持的项目中抽取：材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC），材料研究与教育合作伙伴关系（PREM）和材料创新平台（MIP）。建议的研讨会的智力价值是基于如何更有效地运行大学共享设施以推进材料研究和创新的预期结果。特别是，将重点关注如何以避免建立冗余仪器的方式最有效和高效地利用分布在全国各地的仪器。提议的研讨会的更广泛影响包括向感兴趣的各方免费提供研讨会的所有演讲和讨论笔记，包括如何有效运行共享设施的最佳实践建议，帮助大学和行业研究人员推进从基本理解到为市场准备产品的范围。

The 2018 Shared Facilities Operations Workshop will serve to assemble a group of Senior Investigators and Staff Scientists/Facilities Managers to discuss critical issues in the running of Shared Facilities, particularly as they pertain to the advancement of the materials research infrastructure in the United States. The participants will be drawn from projects supported by three different National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research programs: The Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC), the Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM), and the Materials Innovation Platforms (MIP). The Intellectual Merit of the proposed Workshop is based on the anticipated outcomes of how Shared Facilities at universities can be run more efficiently to advance materials research and innovation. In particular, there will be a focus on how instrumentation distributed across the country can be most effectively and efficiently employed in a manner that avoids the establishment of redundant instrumentation. The Broader Impacts of the proposed Workshop include making freely available all of the presentations and discussion notes of the Workshop to interested parties, including the suggestions of best practices for how to run efficient Shared Facilities that help university and industry researchers advance the gamut from fundamental understanding and readying products for the marketplace.
