SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The NIST Center for Neutron
Research (NCNR) Information
Management System (IMS) is a public
facing, web-based application to collect,
manage and report operational data
related to NCNR’s role as a unique
national user facility which was
chartered to serve the nation’s scientific
community by providing unique
experimental apparatus for scientific
studies using neutron scattering. In
order to fulfill that mission, NCNR
established a complex business process
to fairly distribute available scientific
resources to prospective external users,
outlined by the following steps:
• Registration of NCNR users
• Collection of scientific experiment
proposals
• Regularly scheduled peer review of
said proposals
• Merit-based award of available
experimental resources
• Experiment date scheduling for
selected projects (instrument
scheduling)
