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...
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 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...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) award of $167,500 supports the installation of a helium recovery system at the John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory at Florida State University. The project aims to eliminate helium losses during scheduled warm-ups and unforeseeable power disruptions, which account for approximately 45% of the laboratory's helium inventory. The recovered helium will enable more efficient and flexible operation of the...
This $298,422 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports Baylor University's acquisition of a helium recovery system for their NMR core research facility. The project enables Baylor to capture and reliquefy approximately 90% of the 1,000 liters of liquid helium used annually by their five NMR spectrometers, providing a sustainable and cost-effective supply of high-purity helium to support a wide range of...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry provides $107,085 to California State University, Northridge for the acquisition and installation of a helium recovery system. The system will collect and recycle evaporated helium gas from two nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, reducing helium consumption by an estimated 70% and preserving access to these critical research tools. The award supports the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program's goals of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $545,484 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to acquire a new campus-wide helium liquefaction plant. This award, funded under NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), will enable the university to replace its aging and unsupported helium liquefaction system. The new system will provide reliable...
