This award will provide funds to purchase a new Agilent 5900 Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) for the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT). The new instrument is replacing an outdated/obsolete ICP-OES. In addition to funding for the new instrument, the award will also support a new outreach program to educate students about their local water resources. The Program is designed to broaden participation – implementing a two-year high school program that supports Next Generation Science Standards in Socorro County public schools, which also supports Hispanic and Native American populations. Acquisition of a new ICP-OES supports the ongoing mission of the Bureau of Geology and will support several new long-term research and outreach projects. Recently hired faculty and researchers affiliated with the Bureau of Geology and NMT are establishing programs to address the increasing need for rare earth elements (REE) in electronics and the national power supply, changing demands on water resources sustainability and water quality, and the urgent need to develop carbon capture and sequestration. The instrumentation will also support new research in ecology, environmental chemistry, chemomechanics and plasmonics nanoresearch.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该合同将为新墨西哥州地质矿产资源局和新墨西哥州矿业技术研究所（NMT）购买新的Agilent 5900电感耦合等离子体光发射光谱仪（ICP-OES）提供资金。新仪器正在取代过时的ICP-OES。除了为新仪器提供资金外，该奖项还将支持一个新的外展计划，以教育学生了解当地的水资源。该方案旨在扩大参与-实施一项为期两年的高中方案，支持索科罗县公立学校的下一代科学标准，该方案还支持西班牙裔和美洲土著人口。购置一台新的ICP-OES支持地质局正在进行的使命，并将支持几个新的长期研究和外联项目。最近聘请的教师和研究人员隶属于地质局和NMT正在制定计划，以解决电子和国家电力供应中对稀土元素（REE）日益增长的需求，对水资源可持续性和水质的需求不断变化，以及迫切需要开发碳捕获和封存。该仪器还将支持生态学，环境化学，化学力学和等离子体纳米研究的新研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
