measurements, with magnets in the range of 28 T, was discussed in Chapter 3. Stewardship of High-Magnetic-Field Science in the United States A National Academies study investigated a variety of models for the manage ment of scientific research, together with their strengths and weaknesses, and recommended a management model for the future in the concise Cooperative Stewardship report (NRC, 1999)

As the steward for the NHMFL, NSF is also the principal steward for the nation in high magnetic field science, which includes, but is not limited to, the materials science community. Therefore the committee strongly endorses all efforts that would broaden research partnerships that leverage expertise that is complementary to that currently at NHMFL, and cost-share the

Additionally, the NSF instrumentation funding line item could be used to support the design and construction costs for new high-magnetic-field capa bilities that would be sited at one or more of the national scattering facilities. As described elsewhere in this report, combining high magnetic fields with probes

On the other hand, for these remotely sited magnets, the stewards of the host facility should commission their construction and installation and, if appropriate, they should be encouraged to enter into part nerships with other funding agencies to operate these specialized magnet facilities. Recommendation: The National Science Foundation (NSF)

However, a major multidisciplinary research facility like the NHMFL necessarily involves considerations far different than a single investigator research grant. These complicating factors include partnerships with other stakeholders, site-specific factors, infrastructural concerns, and/or any other encumbrances on the facility.

Workforce Education and Training In order to facilitate the long-term viability of the research laboratories and industries that stand to benefit from advancements in the development of magnet technology, there needs to be a highly trained workforce that is specialized in the knowledge and expertise of magnet design and construction. High-field mag net design requires comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering skills, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, and engineer ing design.

high-field magnet science and technology school. Such a program would educate students in the basic elements of applied superconductivity and resistive and superconducting magnet design, with a focus on fundamental engineering subjects in electromagnetics, heat transfer and thermal design, cryogenics, structural analysis, materials properties, laboratory measurement methods, diagnostics, and instrumentation, among oth ers.
