The primary function of the Division is to conceive, plan, construct, fund, and administer scientific user facilities for synchrotron radiation research, neutron scattering research, nanoscale science research, and other user facilities as appropriate. The Division also oversees the fabrication of Major Items of Equipment for the synchrotron radiation light sources, the neutron scattering facilities, and other scientific user facilities as appropriate. The Division formulates strategic plans and develops budget submissions for the scientific user facilities. The Division also performs regular reviews of these user facilities in accordance with policies described in 10 CFR 605 for the grant program and with BES guidelines developed for the DOE laboratories. The Division Director provides advice and recommendations to the Associate Director for BES. In addition, the Division involves in intra- and interagency collaborative R&D activities; supports National Academy of Sciences and National Research Council efforts; and conducts a wide variety of workshops related to scientific facilities. The Division actively participates in the Council for Materials Sciences and Engineering, the Council for Chemical Sciences, the Council for Earth Sciences, and the Council for Biosciences meetings. The Division management ensures compliance with DOE, Federal and/or State policies and regulations on safeguards and security, emergency preparedness, quality assurance, and environment, health and safety at basic energy sciences research facilities.
