This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.A great deal of effort has gone over the life of the project into ensuring that thescientific community is fully informed of the capabilities of the BioCAT facility and keptabreast of progress. In 2006 Irving and collaborators presented 6 posters and contributed talks at the Biophysical Society annual meeting in Salt Lake City in February. Irving presented a plenary talk at the International meeting on Small-angle Scattering (SAS2006). There were also one contributed talk and two posters by staff and collaborators. Orgel gave presentations at the Midwest Connective Tissue Workshop (October) and the American Matrix Biology biannual meeting (November). An exhibitor booth was manned at the Protein Society Annual Meeting in San Diego (August 2006) in an effort to more directly engage the broader biochemical /structural biological community in SAXS and fiber diffraction. A workshop was held at Fall Creek Falls State Park Tennessee in August in cooperation with the Fibernet project, a NSF-funded Research Coordination Network. These workshops are the primary forum to provide high-level training/dissemination to prospective users of the BioCAT fiber diffraction facilities as well as introduction to advances in fiber diffraction analysis tools. A major upgrade was done to the BioCAT web page (www.bio.aps.anl.gov). This website provides a central location for information concerning BioCAT capabilities, how to get access to beamtime, travel and shipping information compliance concerns as well as provide links to web sites for data analysis software and other technical information.
