A grant has been awarded to New Mexico State University under the direction of Dr. Erin Silva for the acquisition of a multi-instrument high performance liquid chromatography device to be used in biological research and education. The instrument will enhance studies of metabolism and chemical structure in a range of investigations in chemistry and biology. A group of researchers will use the instrument in studies of how pigments are produced in chili peppers, and compounds from alfalfa that may be used as fuel sources. The instrumentation can be used by undergraduate students in their own research and will enhance a variety of courses in biology. The student population at NMSU is more than 40% Hispanic, and the instruments will augment the education and research experiences of this population. Agricultural scientists will be able to take advantage of the equipment in studies to enhance cropping systems and other aspects of production.

在Erin Silva博士的指导下，向新墨西哥州州立大学提供了一笔赠款，用于购买一个多仪器高效液相色谱装置，用于生物研究和教育。 该仪器将在一系列化学和生物学研究中加强对新陈代谢和化学结构的研究。 一组研究人员将使用该仪器研究辣椒中色素的产生方式，以及苜蓿中可用作燃料来源的化合物。 该仪器可供本科生在自己的研究中使用，并将增强生物学的各种课程。 在NMSU的学生人口超过40%是西班牙裔，这些工具将增加这一人口的教育和研究经验。 农业科学家将能够在研究中利用这些设备来改进种植系统和生产的其他方面。
