In 2012, polarized Drell-Yan experiment Fermilab E-1027 was given Stage-1 approval. In addition last year, an Expression of Interest in measuring the electric dipole moment of the proton using polarized protons at Fermilab was submitted by the Storage Ring EDM Collaboration. The workshop aims at bringing together the communities studying nucleon structure, QCD, and EDMs in order to explore common interests and needs, and potentially broaden the physics program that could be achieved with polarized proton beams at Fermilab. Technical aspects of realizing polarized beams will also be discussed.

The workshop will begin at 9am on Monday and end at 5pm on Wednesday.  There will be a reception held on Tuesday evening.
