OK, folks, the last day to voice your opinion on this is Monday June 17.
survey is here: https://www.research.net/r/P30_RFI
I encourage anyone who has used these synchrotrons to chime in. Your
opinion matters, but the NIH cannot read your mind! I personally think
it very important that they get an accurate picture.
Some of you might not be sure if the beamline you usually use is one of
these "MSR" things? Well, if you read CCP4BB and have used or plan to
use the ALS, SSRL, CHESS, NSLS-II, or the APS beamlines GM/CA CAT,
BioCAT or NE-CAT to collect X-ray diffraction, SAXS, XCT or, XFP data
then you are one of the people the NIH wants to hear from.
Another way to know if you have used these resources is if any of these
names ring a bell. Was the person who scheduled your beam time Jane
Tanamachi? Stacy Ortega? or Kathryn Burnett? Then you used the
ALS-ENABLE MSR. If the beamline scientist who supported you was one of
these: James Holton, George Meigs, Banu Sankaran, Scott Classen, Greg
Hura, Michael Hammel, Jay Nix, Kevin Royal, Jeff Dickert, Anthony
Rosalez, Daniil Prighozin, Corie Ralston, Marc Allaire, or Mark LeGros,
then you used an MSR-supported beamline.
If your beam time person was Lisa Dunn, you used the SSRL MSR. The SSRL
beamline scientists who may have supported you are: Clyde Smith, Silvia
Russi, Irimpan Mathews, Tzanko Doukov, Ailiena Maggiolo, Darya
Marchany-Rivera, and Aina Cohen.
These are just to name two MSRs that I am personally familiar with. Let
me know who I forgot.
Details on all the MSR grants are here:
https://www.nigms.nih.gov/grants/Pages/Mature-Synchrotron-Resources.aspx
Have a nice weekend everyone, and I encourage you to take a moment to
participate. The survey is anonymous and although it would be nice of
you to answer all 15 questions, all responses are optional. Better to
have your voice heard that not at all.

Dear Colleagues,
Apologies for the US-centric posting, but I think this is of interest to many
of the bulletin board subscribers who make use of synchrotron facilities in the
US.
NIH is seeking feedback on the Mature Synchrotron Program:
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-GM-24-019.html
This program supports synchrotron-based user resources where the technologies
are at an advanced level, including Macromolecular Crystallography, Small-Angle
and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering, fiber diffraction, and other synchrotron-based
techniques that generate important data, with an emphasis on structural biology.
Responses to the RFI will be accepted through 6/17/2024. All comments will be
anonymous and should be submitted electronically via a web form at:
https://www.research.net/r/P30_RFI
As the Director of one of the resources it has been suggested that I help make
the community aware of the RFI, so there is the opportunity to provide feedback
in a timely manner. Feel free to pass this on to any of your colleagues who may
be interested.
Cheers,
Paul
