A Regional NMR Facility for Colleges and Universities in the Central Shenandoah Valley

该项目是在谢南多厄山谷中部建立一个区域核磁共振（NMR）设施。该设施使学生能够亲身体验设备齐全的高场核磁共振光谱仪的功能。通过使用计算机网络，学生可以远程使用该仪器从他们各自的家庭机构获取数据。该设施供化学专业学生和非专业学生在选定的化学课程中使用。此外，该联盟的每个机构都在加强本科生研究。设施中的仪器使用户能够进行更复杂的实验，从而激发参与的学生和教师之间的新项目和合作。高场核磁共振光谱仪的增加也增强了该大学的NSF/REU项目，该项目为传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体及其教师导师提供了有意义的夏季研究经验。该设施使他们能够进行更高质量的研究，并吸引更多的学生和教师参加该计划。

This project is establishing a Regional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility in the central Shenandoah Valley. The facility enables students to experience, first hand, the capabilities of a fully equipped, high-field, NMR spectrometer. Through the use of a computer network, students can use the instrument remotely for data acquisition from their individual home institutions. The facility is used by chemistry majors and non-majors throughout selected levels of the chemistry curriculum. In addition, undergraduate research is being enhanced at each of the institutions in the consortium. The instrumentation in the facility enables users to perform more sophisticated experiments that stimulate new projects and collaborations among the participating students and faculty. The addition of the high-field NMR spectrometer also enhances the university's NSF/REU program, which provides meaningful summer research experiences for groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences and their faculty mentors. The facility allows them to perform higher quality research, and attract additional students and faculty to the program.
