The objective of this RCN project is to establish an interactive community of researchers and students in the area of molecular structure and dynamics of macromolecular assemblies, with a specific focus on the forefront technology of solid-state NMR. This project will foster communication of ideas and allow exposure to off-campus equipment facilities for six research groups at the City University of New York (CUNY), the New York Structural Biology Center, Columbia University, and New York University. The networking will be accomplished through an ongoing seminar series held at participating institutes across New York City; an annual symposium held alternately at the CUNY Graduate Center and at the New York Structural Biology Center; an annual hands-on workshop rotating among different laboratories of the core participants; a communications system for teleconferencing and video conferencing; and an interactive website that will announce the activities described above and allow technical networking among the researchers located at the various sites. These programs will facilitate the ability of both junior and well-established investigators to exchange ideas and results, form collaborations in "real time," and advance the field of solid-state NMR as it applies to biopolymers and macromolecular assemblies. In addition, the seminars and website will reach a broad array of researchers and students who would not otherwise have ready access to state-of-the-art NMR methods and experimental results on the molecular structure of biological solids. These individuals include research counterparts in locations distant from New York City as well as local faculty and students. Importantly, the Research Coordination Network will include a significant population of minority students, who comprise 69% of CUNY's student population.

该RCN项目的目标是建立一个研究人员和学生在分子结构和大分子组装动力学领域的互动社区，特别关注固态NMR的前沿技术。 该项目将促进思想交流，并使纽约城市大学（CUNY）、纽约结构生物学中心、哥伦比亚大学和纽约大学的六个研究小组能够接触校外设备设施。 将通过以下方式实现联网：在纽约市各参与研究所持续举办系列研讨会;在纽约市立大学研究生中心和纽约结构生物学中心轮流举办年度专题讨论会;在核心参与者的不同实验室轮流举办年度实践讲习班;建立电话会议和电视会议通信系统;以及一个交互式网站，该网站将宣布上述活动，并使位于各个地点的研究人员能够建立技术网络。 这些计划将促进初级和成熟的研究人员交流思想和结果的能力，形成“真实的时间”的合作，并推进固态NMR领域，因为它适用于生物聚合物和大分子组装。 此外，研讨会和网站将接触到广泛的研究人员和学生，否则他们将无法随时获得最先进的NMR方法和生物固体分子结构的实验结果。 这些人包括远离纽约市的研究同行以及当地的教师和学生。 重要的是，研究协调网络将包括大量少数族裔学生，他们占纽约市立大学学生总数的69%。
