The Shull Wollan Center Visiting Researcher Program provides short- and long-term support to scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students who are using neutrons to help answer some of the biggest science questions in physics, energy, and materials. The support provided by the Shull Wollan Center can include research and travel funding, workspace on site at ORNL, technical/programmatic support, and education opportunities.
Shull Wollan Center Visitor Support is divided into three categories:
Workspace, technical/programmatic, and financial support for visits lasting up to 1 month.
