The National User Facility Organization (NUFO) was founded in 1990 and currently represents the interests of all users who conduct research at
U.S. national scientific user facilities, as well as scientists from U.S. universities, laboratories, and industry who use facilities outside
the United States. NUFO facilitates communication among users, user organizations, facility administrators, and other stakeholders.
Discussion topics include the benefits and significance of research conducted at user facilities, as well as their operational needs. NUFO
seeks to provide a unified message at the national level on issues of resources for science, economic competitiveness, and education for the
next-generation scientific workforce.
