Description
- Purpose
- The purpose of this grant is to provide partial funding to SAN diego state university to purchase a new transmission electron microscope (TEM) which includes cryogenic imaging capabilities.
- Activities
- SAN diego state university (sdsu) will purchase a new transmission electron microscope (TEM) to replace a current instrument which is at the end of its functional lifetime. The new TEM will also be capable of imaging specimens (including viruses, bacteria, and macromolecues) at cryogenic temperatures, which is a new capability that the old obsolete instrument does not have. The congressional funding is sufficient for the base instrument and sdsu will leverage other funding sources (grants, institutional support, philanthropy) to purchase upgrades to the base instrument, which will significantly increase the scientific impact of the microscope.
- Expected outcomes
- The addition of the new transmission electron microscope (TEM) to the SAN diego state university (sdsu) electron microscopy facility will result in a significant scientific impact to sdsu biological research, sdsu chemistry research, sdsu engineering research, and the general southwestern california research community. Specifically, sdsu plans to provide access to the microscope to qualified users at an hourly rate, meaning IT will become a local (and potentially national) resource for biological imaging. Additionally, the addition of a modern TEM to the sdsu research portfolio will significantly improve the high-value skills of sdsu graduates entering industries including (but not limited to) biotechnology, metallurgy, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and semiconductor manufacturing.
- Intended beneficiaries
- Students and faculty in the SAN diego state university (sdsu) biology, chemistry, and engineering departments who will have access to and education on modern analytical tools. Universities and companies in southern california who will have collaborative and/or contractual/hourly access to modern analytical instrumentation.
- Subrecipient activities
- The recipient does not intend to subaward funds.
