This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Funding provided by the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program will significantly enhance The College at Brockport's (State University of New York) infrastructure and research capacity. Drs. Jacques Rinchard and Joseph Makarewicz of the Department of Environmental Science and Biology will acquire a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC/MS) and a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. Both instruments will be used by faculty and students to address fundamental questions and develop an understanding of trophic food web ecology and fish nutrition as well as research on persistent organic pollutants in Great Lakes food webs. For example, the instruments will allow state of the art analysis of fatty acids and vitamins and help us understand their transfer in freshwater aquatic food webs.In addition, both instruments will substantially strengthen the capacities of our curriculum and teach students advanced analytical techniques as part of several classes at both graduate and undergraduate levels. This proposal will improve the quality and effectiveness of our research training activities and this play an important role in developing New York State's and the nation's pool of scientists and technically trained people for the future.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。由主要研究仪器（MRI）计划提供的资金将大大提高布罗克波特（纽约州立大学基础设施）和研究能力的学院。博士。环境科学与生物学系的Jacques Rinchard和Joseph Makarewicz将获得气相色谱 - 质谱仪（GC/MS）和高性能液相色谱（HPLC）系统。两种乐器都将由教职员工和学生使用，以解决基本问题，并对大湖食品网中持续的有机污染物进行对营养食品网络生态和鱼类营养的了解。例如，这些仪器将允许对脂肪酸和维生素进行最先进的分析，并帮助我们了解它们在淡水水生食物网中的转移。此外，这两种仪器将基本上增强了课程的能力，并教授学生作为研究生和毕业生水平的几个类别的高级分析技术。该建议将提高我们的研究培训活动的质量和有效性，并且该提案在发展纽约州和美国的科学家库以及技术培训的未来方面发挥了重要作用。
