... The flexibility inherent in unallocated time enhances the ability of NCNR scientists to bring in new users, provide rapid access for high-impact science, and work more effectively with industry by means of collaborative access. In addition to the peerreview process, industrial access is also fostered through participating research teams including, for example, the NCNR's neutron imaging facility that has led (through an ongoing partnership between NIST and General Motors)

From page 17...
... This program provides direct support for instrument scientists associated with a subset of neutron scattering instruments. It also supports a wide variety of educational and outreach activities, including the summer schools on neutron scattering techniques, the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships program, and remote learning opportunities for SANS.
