Project Grant 2320009
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $500,408 Project Grant to Oregon State University (OSU) to acquire and install an integrated helium capture and recovery system for the university's Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility. This system will enable the recycling of at least 90% of the over 1,000 liters of liquid helium used annually by the facility's five NMR spectrometers, including Oregon's two highest field NMR instruments. The project...
- This Project Grant award for $280,987 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) to Stony Brook University. The funds are supporting the acquisition of a helium recovery system to capture and reliquefy helium from five nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers at the university. This equipment will address challenges posed by global helium supply instability, ensuring continued operation of the critical NMR...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $648,177 Project Grant to the University of Montana under the Integrative Activities (CFDA #47.083) grant program. The funding will enable the University to acquire a 600 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer equipped with advanced instrumentation to support research, teaching, and outreach activities. The NMR spectrometer will directly impact the research of 12 laboratories and will be utilized in upper division lab courses and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $287,576 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to acquire a helium recovery system for its magnetic resonance research facilities. The award will enable UCSB to mitigate the impacts of the global helium supply crisis on their state-of-the-art materials characterization capabilities, which support over 50 research groups across disciplines like chemistry, physics, materials science,...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $185,156 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Oklahoma (OU) to acquire a helium recovery and liquefier system. This equipment will support the operation of five nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers used by eight tenure-track faculty and their research teams in the OU Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. The helium recovery system will collect and re-liquefy helium...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports the acquisition and retrofitting of a helium recovery system at the University of Missouri System's Missouri University of Science & Technology (Missouri S&T) campus. The $255,443 grant will enable Missouri S&T, in collaboration with the University of Missouri Columbia and Washington University, to significantly upgrade their existing...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $431,976 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to acquire helium recovery equipment for quantum materials research and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) facilities. The equipment establishes a helium recycling system to recapture and recondense exhaust helium gas, ensuring the continuation of critical low-temperature research in physics, chemistry, and engineering at...
- This $320,810 National Science Foundation project grant supports the acquisition of a helium recovery and liquefaction system by Indiana University Bloomington. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the system will capture helium gas evaporating from eight nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers in the university's NMR facility. By recycling this helium into liquid form for reuse, the facility expects to substantially reduce its annual purchases of...
- Wayne State University received a $219,353 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry to implement a closed helium recovery system for shared research nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry instruments. The system will capture helium from superconducting magnets associated with NMR and FT-ICR MS instruments in the Chemistry Department facility, temporarily store the collected gas in medium-pressure tanks, liquify it at a centralized station, and...
- This $190,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports the acquisition and implementation of a helium recovery system at the University of Kansas. Dr. Justin Douglas and the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. will install manifolds to collect helium exhaust from nine scientific instruments across four buildings without disrupting operations. The collected gas will be compressed into high-pressure cylinders for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), awarded a $271,925 Project Grant to Montana State University (MSU) to acquire a helium recovery system for their NMR core facility. This system will reduce MSU's consumption of liquid helium, which is required to operate the state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers. The helium recovery system will lower the facility's operational costs and carbon footprint, making the NMR core's activities more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The NMR core is critical to MSU's land grant mission, supporting research, teaching, and outreach across the state of Montana. This enhancement to the research infrastructure will benefit numerous scientists, staff, students, and outside users of the NMR core facility, enabling high-quality graduate and undergraduate student education as well as hands-on training through workshops, courses, and scientific demonstrations. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
