  A neutrino factory is a facility for producing a large neutrino flux from the decay of high energy muons. The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF) aims to produce a reference design report for such a facility. The report will contain the physics motivation for the facility, describe the accelerator and detector, and estimate the cost for the facility. We will briefly discuss the physics capabilities for a neutrino factory, including how recent neutrino physics results affect our understanding of a neutrino factory's performance and advantages. We will give an overview of our baseline design for the accelerator facility. We will then outline the most significant areas of progress in our studies of the accelerator subsystems.
