- 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), 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 University of Toledo received a $907,698 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on August 1, 2021 to support research efforts through July 31, 2026. The grant is part of NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the funding will support the university's "Expanding the Toolbox for Olefin Functionalization and Difunctionalization...
- 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), through its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), awarded the University of Connecticut (UConn) a $798,945 Project Grant to acquire a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. This instrument will expand and secure UConn's solution NMR spectroscopy capabilities to support research in areas such as nanomaterials characterization, organic/inorganic chemistry, and biological sciences. The award also includes funding for a helium recovery...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $322,980 Project Grant to the University of Toledo for the "MRI: TRACK 3 ACQUISITION OF HELIUM RECOVERY EQUIPMENT TO ESTABLISH A SUSTAINABLE NMR FACILITY". This grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, is funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the University of Toledo's acquisition of a helium recovery system to capture and reLiquefy helium from four NMR spectrometers used in chemistry research by Professors Yong-Wah Kim and Jon Kirchhoff. This equipment sustains the operation of these essential NMR instruments, which enable a range of frontier chemistry research projects in areas such as synthetic chemistry, polymer chemistry, catalysis, and drug discovery. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
