FRIB Users Organization Goals

The FRIB Users' Organization is a group whose members are interested in the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) for the purpose of conducting scientific research and developing new technology. The purposes of this association are:

(a) To work towards the realization and timely construction of FRIB and the development of its instrumentation and physics program;

(b) To act as an advocate for the needs of the FRIB user community during project construction;

(c) To articulate and promote the scientific case for rare-isotope science and its significance to society;

(d) To act as an advocate for the field of rare-isotope science in the U.S.A. in order to maximize its scientific potential.
