This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences will provide $641,223.00 to Brown University to acquire a state-of-the-art, 5-spectrometer electron microprobe instrument to replace their existing, failing microprobe. The new instrument will enable fast, non-destructive chemical analysis of solid samples at the micron scale, benefiting a wide range of scientific fields including geology, engineering, chemistry, and biology. The microprobe is an integral part of both graduate and undergraduate education at Brown and will support continued and expanded use of this high-quality research facility. This award supports NSF's statutory mission under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
