DESCRIPTION:\n\n \n\nPurpose of the Meeting\n\nThe ultimate goal of the U
 .S. Transport Task Force (TTF) is to develop a physics-based understanding
  of particle\, momentum and heat transport in magnetic fusion devices. Thi
 s understanding should be of sufficient depth that it allows the developme
 nt of predictive models of plasma transport that can be validated against 
 experiment\, and then used to simulate the future performance of burning p
 lasmas in ITER\, and next-step fusion energy reactors. To achieve success 
 in transport science\, it is essential to characterize local fluctuations 
 and transport in fusion grade plasmas\, to understand the basic mechanisms
  responsible for transport\, and ultimately to control these transport pro
 cesses. These goals must be pursued in multiple research thrust\, and the 
 TTF workshop focus topics evolve to reflect emerging advances in physics u
 nderstanding.\n\nPredict First Initiative\n\nThe 2018 Workshop will contin
 ue an emphasis on developing and using transport tools to predict the outc
 ome of experiments in present fusion plasma research machines. This Predic
 t First Initiative will enhance the efficient use of experimental runtime 
 in the near term and will provide more rigorous validation tests for the t
 heory taking the next step towards the ultimate goal of the TTF to produce
  validated predictive transport models.\n\nImportant Dates\n\n\n	Submissio
