在其20多年的运作中，生物物理学协作获取团队（BioCAT）开发了 高效和有效的管理程序，其成熟的同步加速器光束线18ID的操作， 先进光子源（APS），阿贡国家实验室。伊利诺伊州莱蒙BioCAT正式成为 伊利诺伊理工学院理学院生物科学系， 伊利诺斯州的芝加哥。行政支助来自研究副教务长办公室、 赞助研究计划，合同和赠款会计，采购，人力资源和 在IIT的工资。所有其他活动由主要位于APS的CAT管理层管理。的 BioCAT执行委员会，由BioCAT外部咨询委员会提供建议和监督 (EAC)，为Beamline 18ID的开发和运行提供全面的科学和技术指导。 执行委员会与APS一般用户提案系统一起监督用户计划 用于访问BioCAT资源，包括用户波束时间调度。它还提供行政 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DOE要求的生物危害控制。它还收集与光束线相关的度量 在编写提交大会的年度报告时使用的业务、用户方案、培训和外联活动， NIH，以及结转和补充申请。

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.
