NIF has a geographically dispersed user base. The need to travel to NIF to carry out experimental plans could be reduced with proven, commercial technology that provided the ability to execute and monitor many of the tasks associated with conducting experiments at remote sites. Remote implementation of experiments could reduce personnel time commitment and travel costs and make using NIF easier and more transparent.
NIF utilizes a cloud-based User Portal that allows users to enter proposals without logging into NIF applications via Virtual Private Network. This simplifies the solicitation and entry of campaign and experiment proposals.
