of
the
study
of
advanced
materials,
nanoscience, and other missions of the Office

(ii) includes scientific and technical sup-
port to ensure that external users, includ-
ing researchers based at institutions of
higher education, are able to make full use
of a variety of high quality scientific in-
struments; and
(iii) phases in systems upgrades to en-
sure that the Facility remains at the fore-
front of international scientific endeavors
in the field of the Facility throughout the
operating life of the Facility;
(B) include an ongoing program to develop
new instruments that builds on the high per-
formance neutron source and that allows
neutron scattering techniques to be applied
to a growing range of scientific problems
and disciplines; and
(C) address the status of and, to the max-
imum extent practicable, costs and sched-
