This NSF MRI Award funds the acquisition of a high field 800 MHz NMR spectrometer to enhance research programs at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP). In addition to providing support for NSF and other federally funded research, the new NMR system provides a substantial gain in sensitivity (up to 260% increase) and resolution (up to 137% increase) for three-dimensional NMR experiments, compared to the existing lower field instrumentation at UMCP (600 MHz). Much of the research that would be strengthened and enhanced by the acquisition of this NMR spectrometer can be grouped into three key areas: Studies of Biomolecular Structure, Dynamics, and Function; Catalysis and Materials; and Nanoscience and Supramolecular Chemistry. All three areas are interdisciplinary research thrusts at the University of Maryland, and they provide an excellent avenue for educating and training a significant number of students. Training students, especially those from traditionally underrepresented groups, in these areas will have an impact on the use of NMR. The results of the research and teaching efforts will be broadly disseminated through abstracts and peer reviewed publications, as well as by active participation of students and faculty at professional meetings.

该NSF核磁共振成像奖为购买高场800 MHz核磁共振波谱仪提供资金，以加强马里兰大学园区分校(UMCP)的研究项目。除了为NSF和其他联邦资助的研究提供支持外，与UMCP现有的低场仪器(600 MHz)相比，新的核磁共振系统在三维核磁共振实验的灵敏度(高达260%)和分辨率(高达137%)方面都有显著提高。通过收购这台核磁共振光谱仪，许多研究将得到加强和加强，这些研究可以归类为三个关键领域：生物分子结构、动力学和功能研究；催化和材料；以及纳米科学和超分子化学。这三个领域都是马里兰大学跨学科研究的重点，它们为教育和培训大量学生提供了一个极好的途径。在这些领域对学生进行培训，特别是那些来自传统上代表性不足的群体的学生，将对核磁共振的使用产生影响。研究和教学工作的结果将通过摘要和同行评议的出版物以及学生和教职员工积极参加专业会议的方式广泛传播。
