The two main goals of the user training and outreach component are: (1) provide user training to prepare biomedical researchers to apply NE-CAT technology to their research, and (2) engage in outreach activities to inform the scientific community about the technical capabilities of NE-CAT, promote and enable broader use of NE-CAT technologies, and actively recruit new user research projects to NE-CAT. User training includes online manuals and videos, which are regularly updated, one-on-one, in person training for on-site users, and videoconference-based training for remote users. We also provide enhanced training on all aspects of macromolecular crystallography from sample preparation to structure determination and refinement. We will develop a new system for tracking the training status of each user, enabling support staff to tailor their efforts more effectively. Our training activities extend to the larger user community through annual workshops. We will expand our training by offering a class on practical macromolecular crystallography to both the NE-CAT community and outside groups. NE-CAT maintains a website that is largely targeted to past and present users. We will expand the website to contain more information of interest to potential new users. NE-CAT freely distributes software such as RAPD, NE-CAT’s automated data collection and analysis software, and all hardware designs, many of which have been adopted by other APS beamlines. We will increase the diversity of our user community through a combination of outreach to new primary investigators and enhanced retention efforts for current primary investigators and postdoctoral scientists.

用户培训和推广部分的两个主要目标是： (1) 提供用户培训以做好准备 生物医学研究人员将 NE-CAT 技术应用于他们的研究，以及 (2) 从事外展活动 向科学界通报 NE-CAT 的技术能力，促进和实现更广泛的 利用NE-CAT技术，并积极招募新的用户研究项目进行NE-CAT用户培训。 包括在线手册和视频，定期更新，一对一现场培训 我们还为所有用户提供强化培训。 从样品制备到结构测定的大分子晶体学方面 我们将开发一个新系统来跟踪每个用户的培训状态，从而提供支持。 我们的培训活动扩展到更大的用户社区。 通过年度研讨会，我们将通过提供实用高分子课程来扩大我们的培训。 NE-CAT 维护着一个网站，供 NE-CAT 社区和外部团体使用。 主要针对过去和现在的用户。我们将扩展网站以包含更多信息。 NE-CAT 免费分发 RAPD、NE-CAT 自动化软件等潜在新用户的兴趣。 数据采集​​和分析软件，以及所有硬件设计，其中许多已被其他公司采用 我们将通过结合外展活动来增加我们用户社区的多样性。 新的主要研究者以及加强现有主要研究者和博士后的保留工作 科学家。
