The Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) at Homestake presents an opportunity to conduct a unique experimental program by providing access to locations with vertical stresses as large as 60 MPa (down to 2400m depth), more than sufficient to create faults. It also allows facilities at different depths, permitting experiments to be conducted under different stress levels. These proposed experiments require a facility providing access to large rock volumes in the deep subsurface in a controlled setting, and one where interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged; all the conditions are met at DUSEL Homestake.This award will bring together key members of the scientific community in a series of two planning workshops with the ultimate goal to develop a proposal that will be included in the NSF DUSEL Major Research Equipment and Facility Construction (MREFC) project in 2011.Workshop 1 - The first of the proposed workshops will bring together 6 investigators in Lead, SD with the objectives of planning the project, interfacing with other research groups and the facility, and identifying suitable locations for the experiment. This planning exercise will take place 30 Sept. to 2 Oct. 2009.Workshop 2 - A second workshop is planned for Berkeley, CA in March 2010 with the purpose of reviewing designs of experiments that will be described in the proposal. This workshop will bring together 15-20 scientists working on various aspects of the experiments with engineers working on instrumentation and equipment to address various aspects of implementation. In addition, experts from appropriate fields who are not currently involved with the project will be invited to the workshop to review progress and provide suggestions. The objective of the design workshop is to finalize scientific objectives and approach of the S5 DUSEL proposal.

HOMESTAKE的深层科学和工程实验室（Dusel）为进行独特的实验计划提供了机会，通过提供垂直应力的位置，其垂直应力高达60 MPA（低至2400m的深度），足以造成故障。它还允许不同深度的设施，可以在不同的应力水平下进行实验。这些提议的实验需要在受控的环境中提供一个在深层地下中提供大岩石量的设施，并鼓励跨学科合作。在Dusel Homestake中满足了所有条件。该奖项将在两个计划研讨会中汇集到科学界的关键成员，最终目标是制定一项建议，该提案将包括在NSF Duseel主要的研究设备和设施建设（MREFC）项目（MREFC）项目中，于2011年。Workshop1-工作组的第一个研究人员将与6号项目组合在一起。设施，并确定实验的合适位置。这项计划练习将于2009年9月30日至10月2日进行。Workshop2-计划于2010年3月为加利福尼亚州伯克利举行第二次研讨会，目的是审查提案中将描述的实验设计的设计。该研讨会将汇集15-20名科学家，研究实验的各个方面，工程师从事仪器和设备工作以解决实施的各个方面。此外，当前未参与该项目的适当领域的专家将被邀请参加研讨会，以审查进度并提供建议。设计研讨会的目的是确定S5 Dusel提案的科学目标和方法。
