This Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) project--a Type III (A:C) partnership between Montana State University, an NSF PFI graduate (0125429) and University of Montana, an institution new to the PFI Program (defined as one that has never been a PFI grantee)--seeks to respond to the problem of the use of methamphetamine (meth), a highly addictive illicit drug, and to meth-related crime, which has reached epidemic levels in the U.S. and particularly in the state of Montana; by developing laser-based remote sensing technologies to detect clandestine meth labs and also the hazards inside. Advances in the areas of laser operation, in detection, and knowledge of the detectable chemicals are all being addressed in the Remote Methamphetamine Detection Initiative (REMEDI) partnership, and each advance in these areas will contribute to improving the sensitivity and reducing false positives, which are essential for adoption of the device by law enforcement. The proposed activity is focused on the development of a technology that can assist law enforcement in uncovering meth labs and also alert first responders as to which hazardous chemicals are present. The societal impact of this activity is of major importance, particularly in Native American tribal communities. The technology can also be directly extended to remotely detecting other airborne chemicals. Some of these chemicals include other drug manufacturing signature chemicals, chemical weapons, global warming chemicals, chemicals important to home security and dangerous or other toxic industrial effluents.Partners at the inception of the project are Academic Institutions: Montana State University (lead institution), and University of Montana; Research Institution: National Jewish Medical Center; Private Sector Organizations: Battelle (not-for-profit)(Richland, WA), AdvR, Inc.; Bridger Photonics, Inc., and Scientific Materials Corporation/FLIR Systems; State and Local Organizations: Missouri River Drug Task Force, Montana Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation; and Montana Governor?s Office; and Other: Montana Meth Project, Montana-Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council, and MSU TechLink.

这个创新伙伴关系（PFI）项目--蒙大拿州立大学，一个NSF PFI毕业生（0125429）和蒙大拿大学之间的第三类（A：C）伙伴关系，一个新加入PFI项目的机构（定义为从未获得PFI赠款的机构）--旨在应对甲基苯丙胺（冰毒）的使用问题，这是一种高度成瘾的非法药物，以及与冰毒有关的犯罪，在美国，特别是在蒙大拿州，已经达到流行病的水平;通过开发基于激光的遥感技术来探测秘密冰毒实验室及其内部的危险。在激光操作、检测和可检测化学品知识等领域的进展都在甲基苯丙胺远程检测倡议伙伴关系中得到处理，这些领域的每一项进展都将有助于提高灵敏度和减少误报，这对执法部门采用该装置至关重要。拟议活动的重点是开发一种技术，可以帮助执法部门发现冰毒实验室，并提醒第一反应人员存在哪些危险化学品。 这项活动的社会影响非常重要，特别是在美洲原住民部落社区。 该技术还可以直接扩展到远程检测其他空气中的化学物质。 其中一些化学品包括其他药物制造标志性化学品、化学武器、全球变暖化学品、对家庭安全重要的化学品以及危险或其他有毒工业废水。（牵头机构）和蒙大拿大学;研究机构：国家犹太医学中心;私营部门组织：Battelle（非营利）（Richland，WA），AdvR，Inc.;布里杰光电公司，和科学材料公司/前视红外系统;州和地方组织：密苏里州河毒品工作队，蒙大拿州司法部，刑事调查司;和蒙大拿州州长？其他：蒙大拿州冰毒项目，蒙大拿州怀俄明州部落领袖理事会和密歇根州立大学技术链接。
