DESCRIPTION:The DIII-D Research Opportunities Forum has been scheduled for
  October 16-18 at GA in San Diego. The Research Opportunities Forum provid
 es a venue for interested scientists to present proposals and ideas for po
 ssible research on the DIII-D National Fusion Facility as well as an oppor
 tunity to discuss critical issues for both fusion science and preparations
  for ITER. Information on the proposal submission process and the Forum's 
 agenda (as the details become available) can be found on the links to the 
 left.\n\nThere are several objectives of the Research Opportunities Forum.
  The main goal of the DIII-D Research Opportunities Forum (ROF) is to lay 
 the ground work for developing the best DIII-D experimental campaign. At t
 he ROF\, we wish to provide an opportunity for each scientist (DIII-D\, na
 tional or international collaborator\, and any interested participant) to 
 present their ideas to the DIII-D team. The ROF also provides an opportuni
 ty for our colleagues in the fusion community to become familiar with the 
 activities of the DIII-D program whether or not they propose specific expe
 riments. Finally\, we want the Research Opportunities Forum to be an oppor
 tunity for new participation in the DIII-D program.\n\nAs in the past any 
 individual contributor can submit as many proposals to the website as they
  wish. These proposals will be sorted and distributed to the area leaders\
 , or their delegates\, to be discussed in the respective group meetings.\n
 \nFor those unfamiliar with the DIII-D planning process\, this process con
 sists of the following steps:\n\n\n	Determination of the organization of t
 he experimental program is done by DIII-D management with the advice of t
 he Research Council. This process is currently underway. We anticipate th
 at this organization will be different than in previous years\, with the 
 2008 program being organized in line with the recent reorganization of the
  Experimental Science Division.\n	Proposal submissions will be made using
  a web interface starting later in September. All individuals and institut
 ions are encouraged to propose experiments that take advantage of the uniq
 ue capabilities of the DIII-D facility in addressing key fusion science is
 sues. These experimental proposals may be as small as a portion of a shot 
 or may require several days to complete. When available\, a link will be a
 dded to this page.\n	The Research Opportunities Forum will be held on Oc
 tober 16-18\, 2007 as described above.\n	Prioritization/Planning: The vari
 ous research area leaders will organize meetings subsequent to the ROF in 
 which the proponents of the proposals will discuss and determine which pro
 posals can be combined effectively\, leading to a proposed plan for the 20
 08 experimental plan. This plan will be presented to the DIII-D Research C
 ouncil\, which will then determine the allocation of experimental time amo
 ngst the various areas. It is anticipated that this allocation will occur 
 near the end of 2007.\n\n\nMore Information:\nPlease contact Dr. Chuck Gre
