This award provides support for the Northeast National Ion Microprobe Facility (NENIMF) to operate as a multi-user facility serving the geoscience community. Since January 2010, the facility has accommodated sixty-six users from thirty-three different institutions. The analytical capabilities of the NENIMF provide a unique resource to the geoscience community in two key areas where we have a well-established track record: determination of magmatic volatile abundances in silicate glasses, and analysis of biogenic carbonates as records of climate change and its impacts on marine organisms. NENIMF users have also worked on a range of topics that include Zr in rutile geospeedometry, Ti diffusion in quartz, and U-Th-Pb dating of monazite and zircon. Analytical protocols and standard materials for these and many other types of SIMS applications are available at the NENIMF. Discovery and understanding are advanced while promoting teaching, training, and learning and participation of underrepresented groups is broadened through the involvement of undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs. Involvement of young scientists in SIMS-based research is encouraged through short-courses held once each year. Our exhibits at Fall AGU and Goldschmidt conferences introduce researchers in many different fields to the analytical capabilities of SIMS. Infrastructure for research and education are enhanced through making both our existing analytical platforms, and those to be developed by the NENIMF personnel, available to scientists and students from diverse disciplines. Research results are disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding through an average of 15 publications per year that result from use of the NENIMF.

该奖项为东北国家离子微探针设施（NENIMF）提供支持，使其成为服务于地球科学界的多用户设施。自2010年1月以来，该设施已容纳了来自33个不同机构的66名用户。NENIMF的分析能力为地球科学界在两个关键领域提供了独特的资源，我们在这两个领域有着良好的记录：硅酸盐玻璃中岩浆挥发物丰度的测定，以及作为气候变化及其对海洋生物影响记录的生物碳酸盐的分析。 NENIMF的用户还研究了一系列主题，包括金红石地质速度测量中的Zr，石英中的Ti扩散以及独居石和锆石的U-Th-Pb测年。这些和许多其他类型的西姆斯应用的分析协议和标准材料可在NENIMF获得。发现和理解是先进的，同时促进教学，培训和学习，并通过本科生，研究生和博士后的参与扩大了代表性不足的群体的参与。通过每年举办一次的短期课程，鼓励青年科学家参与基于SIMS的研究。我们在秋季AGU和Goldschleman会议上的展品向许多不同领域的研究人员介绍了西姆斯的分析能力。通过使我们现有的分析平台和NENIMF人员开发的平台向来自不同学科的科学家和学生提供，加强了研究和教育的基础设施。研究成果得到广泛传播，通过使用NENIMF平均每年出版15份出版物，提高科学和技术认识。
