The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $349,549 Project Grant to the University of Houston - Clear Lake (UHCL), a Hispanic Serving Institution, to acquire an integrated Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption - Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIRSPEC) system. This state-of-the-art instrumentation will establish a shared user laboratory for UHCL, the Lunar Planetary Institute, Texas Tech University, NASA Johnson Space Center, Texas Southern University, and the University of Houston-Downtown. The primary users will be undergraduates engaged in Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CURES) to study topics such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, fecal contamination in estuarine systems, plant growth-promoting bacteria, and microbes found in NASA facilities. The high-throughput proteomic capabilities of the MALDI-TOF MS, combined with the resolution of FTIRSPEC, will enable cost-effective analysis of microbial communities that was previously prohibitively expensive. This award reflects the NSF's Integrative Activities program focused on building national STEM capacity and broadening participation.
