  24. Beamline Development Policy And Proposal Review Process

  25. Beamline Development Process The Letter of Intent (LOI) identifies the beamline Proposal Team that intends to submit a Beamline Development Proposal (BDP) and provides a brief description of the science program and type of beamline The BDP describes the scientific programs that such a beamline would serve and the main technical requirements that the beamline must meet to enable those programs The Beamline Project Execution Plan (BPEP) describes the membership of the Beamline Advisory Team (BAT), the plan for formation of the Beamline Development Group (BDG), the plan for managing and executing the design and construction of the beamline, the pre-conceptual technical design, the preliminary cost and schedule estimates, and a commitment for the necessary funding

  26. 2010 Call forBeamline Development Proposals • Scope • Any area of science • Any beamline type – ID, BM, 3PW, IR • Independent of funding source or implementation approach (i.e., new, reused, who builds) • Science case and technical requirements • Schedule • Issued on March26 • Letters of Intent due on April 26 • Beamline Development Proposals due on June 21 • Reviewed by Science Advisory Committee and decisions by August • Future calls will be issued on an annual basis

  27. Letter of Intent • Proposal Teams planning to submit a BDP are requested to submit a LOI to enable us to better prepare for the review process by knowing how many, and what kind, of proposals to expect • Submission of a LOI is not a prerequisite for submitting a BDP, and a BDP can be submitted without a LOI • The LOI should include: • descriptive title of proposal • one sentence description of science program • one sentence description of beamline (principal technique and type of source) • whether the proposal is Type I or Type and potential sources of funding if Type II • name and contact information for all Proposal Team members • Identification of one Proposal Team member who will act as the Proposal Spokesperson, in the case of Type I proposals, or as the Beamline Project Director, in the case of Type II proposals • If a Type I proposal is approved, the proposal spokesperson is expected to work with the NSLS-II Experimental Facilities Director in forming the beamline BAT and to serve on the BAT and represent the interests of the proposal team if the Beamline Project Execution Plan is approved • The LOI is not binding and does not enter into the review of a subsequent BDP submission. • The LOI is to be sent by email by April 26 to nsls2bdp@bnl.gov • We plan to post the titles and contact info for the proposal spokesperson for each LOI so that the community can communicate their input to the proposal teams

  28. Type I and Type II Beamline Development

  29. Beamline Development Proposals BDPs should contain the following information and should be a maximum of 10 pages long (A template is posted on the website) • Beamline title and a three-letter acronym. • Indicate whether it is a Type I or a Type II proposal. • Name and contact information for all Proposal Team members. One team member who will act as the team Spokesperson (Type I proposals) or Beamline Project Director (Type II proposals) should be identified. • A succinct statement of the scientific case for the beamline, including a description of the key scientific questions the beamline will address, the capabilities that establishing such a beamline at NSLS-II will provide and whether any of these would be unique, and how these would impact the field and the community. If the beamline is being proposed as part of a suite of beamlines, indicate the role and importance of the proposed beamline in the context of the suite and the impact if the proposed beamline is not approved. • Description of the pre-conceptual layout of the proposed beamline, including technical requirements and specifications and justification for why these are necessary to address the intended scientific mission. These should span from the radiation source to the endstation(s).

  33. BDP Review Outcomes • Approved Type I BDP • ALD seeks funding on behalf of NSLS-II for developing the beamline • NSLS-II prepares & seeks approval of a Beamline Project Execution Plan (BPEP) • Proposal spokesperson is expected to work with NSLS-II in forming the BAT and to serve on the BAT and represent the interests of the proposal team if the BPEP is approved • Approved Type II BDP • Proposal team is encouraged to seek funding and to prepare & submit a BPEP for approval • Letter of support is provided by NSLS-II For approved BDPs of either Type I or Type II: • Up to two years can elapse between approval of BDP and submission & approval of BPEP • A beamport of the required type and experimental floor space is reserved during this period • Specific beamport and floor space assignments are made once the BPEP is approved • BDP not approved • Reasons for not being approved, including feedback from the SAC, conveyed in writing to proposal team • Proposal team may resubmit the BDP in a future proposal review round

  34. Beamline Project Execution Plan • Approval of a BDP authorizes development and submission of a BPEP • The BPEP presents the plans for beamline project execution, including the scientific need and justification; project objectives and description; management systems; environment, safety, health, and security; resource planning; transition to operations; project controls (management, the baseline, and change systems); and reporting • Upon approval of the BPEP, a Beamline Development Agreement will be executed between NSLS-II and the BDG that outlines the rights and obligations of the BDG and assigns a beamport and experimental floor space for use by the beamline • Some of the required elements include: • Beamline Advisory Team membership • Staffing plan for Beamline Development Group • Management Plan • Pre-conceptual Design • Preliminary Cost and Schedule Estimate • Funding Committment • A Beamline Development Guide will be issued at a future date to provide additional information and definition of requirements for the BPEP

  35. (Draft) User Access Policy

  36. User Access Policy • User Access Modes • General User • Peer reviewed, open access • Proposals may be allocated assured beamtime extending over multiple cycles • Some time would be reserved each cycle for new proposals • Review criteria designed to recognize value of both basic and applied research as well as contributions of users to improving the overall scientific program • Includes Rapid Access • Expected to accommodate many of the current CUs and MIDTs • Partner User • Researchers wishing to partner with the facility in the development and operation of a beamline • Staff research and development • Beam time allocation • 80% to GUs (averaged over the facility) • 20% shared by local beamline staff and Partner Users • Beamline upgrades and maintenance does not count as user time

  37. Partner Users • Contribute to on-going development of a substantial portion of a beamline • Contribute to support of general users on the beamline through resident staff • Have a role in stewarding, together with the facility beamline staff, the future evolution of the beamline, including, for example, participating in decisions on future upgrades or improvements in the technical capabilities of the beamline which may be made to improve the support for targeted scientific areas • Partner Users share, together with the facility beamline staff, in the use of the 20% of beam time (averaged over all beamlines but excluding PRT beamlines at NSLS) that is not allocated to the General User Program for their own discretionary scientific research • Partner Users may also apply for General User time on any beamline, including ones on which they are Partner Users • Partner User proposals will be reviewed by the SAC • The criteria for evaluation of Partner User proposals are positive impact of the partnership on General Users through participation in the development and operation of a beamline, including contributing to the support of General Users on the beamline • The rights and obligations of the Partner User will be negotiated on a case by case basis and spelled out in a Partner User Agreement • The terms of the partnership agreement may extend up to five years with the possibility of renewal

  38. Beam Time Proposal Review Criteria • If judged to be technically feasible, the Proposal Review Panel (PRP) evaluates the proposals in the following categories: • Scientific and/or Technical Innovation and Originality • Scientific and/or Technical Importance • Capability of Experimental Group and Quality of Past Performance Based on Track Record (Publications, Patents, Corporate Impact Statements) • Experimental Plan and Technical Feasibility • These criteria are designed to recognize the value of both basic and applied research as well as encouraging the contributions of users that improve the overall scientific program • For highly-rated proposals requesting multi-cycle status, the Beam Time Allocation Committee (BAC) makes the determination whether multi-cycle status should be granted based on meeting one or more of the following additional criteria: • Contribution of apparatus or resources to bring a new experimental capability to facility users that is otherwise not available • Development a new experimental capability or a new scientific application • Clearly demonstrated scientific and technical needs for guaranteed access for a single experiment over multiple cycles (e.g. effect of asthma medicine on lungs in live mice) • General users receiving multi-cycle beam time allocations are not expected to provide support to other general users who may use equipment they contribute or develop.

  39. Implementation • Plan to institute this policy at NSLS as soon as practical • Promotes a unification of approach between NSLS & NSLS-II • Allows us to upgrade the support procedures for NSLS now and take advantage of the investment in the future with NSLS-II • Is expected to ease the transition from one to the other • Existing NSLS PRTs continue during NSLS ops but no new PRTs • Existing CU/MIDTs continue for remainder of their term but not renewed • This is will remain a draft proposal until the SAC meets and reviews and comments on it
