This Major Research Instrumentation award to Mississippi State University funds the acquisition of a triple quadrupole gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC/MS/MS) system to enhance the scientific response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and its effects on coastal ecosystems. Reliable and sensitive state-of-the art instruments are critically needed in order to provide the much needed rapid analytical services for various state agencies and research groups in the State of Mississippi for monitoring and biological research efforts in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster. Therefore, an expected result of this NSF-RAPID award is timely and critical information to inform policy and remediation efforts in response to the oil spill. Short-term and long-term monitoring, biological, environmental exposure, remediation, and public health research programs addressing the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill disaster are examples of the research areas that will benefit from reliable, sensitive, and timely analytical support. This analytical support can certainly also be provided to agencies of other affected States. In addition, examples of Gulf Oil Spill contamination analysis will be incorporated into graduate level courses, beginning with the Fall semester of 2010. Results from the studies and education efforts will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journal publications and though participation at regional and national scientific meetings, as well as to the state and federal agencies and the general public.

这项授予密西西比州立大学的重大研究仪器奖资助购买了一套三重四极柱气相色谱-质谱仪(GC/MS/MS)系统，以加强对深水地平线漏油事件及其对沿海生态系统的影响的科学反应。迫切需要可靠和灵敏的最先进的仪器，以便为密西西比州的各种州机构和研究小组提供急需的快速分析服务，以监测和应对深水地平线漏油灾难的生物研究工作。因此，NSF-RAPID奖的预期结果是及时和关键的信息，为应对漏油事件的政策和补救工作提供信息。针对深水地平线漏油灾难的短期和长期监测、生物、环境暴露、补救和公共卫生研究项目是将受益于可靠、敏感和及时的分析支持的研究领域的例子。这种分析支助当然也可以提供给其他受影响国家的机构。此外，从2010年秋季学期开始，墨西哥湾漏油污染分析的实例将被纳入研究生课程。研究和教育工作的成果将在同行评议的期刊出版物中传播，并通过参加地区和国家科学会议以及州和联邦机构以及普通公众传播。
