The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $203,047 Project Grant on September 1, 2023 to Georgia Gwinnett College, a public minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution of higher education, under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The funding is supporting the acquisition of an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) instrument to enhance undergraduate research capabilities across the chemical, biological, and environmental sciences at the college. The ICP-MS will enable novel interdisciplinary research by faculty and students, including investigations of metal sources in atmospheric particulates, microchemical analyses of local fish and waterways, and characterization of membrane fouling in water treatment. This specialized research instrument, not commonly found at undergraduate institutions, will provide hands-on training opportunities for a diverse group of students and support the college's efforts to advance STEM education and research infrastructure.
