NMR spectroscopy is arguably the most widely employed tool in materials, chemical and biomolecular research sciences for the study of atomic structure and behaviour. It has a uniquely powerful ability to probe the chemical structure at atomic level, combined with sensitivity to their motions and changes in chemical environment. The importance of NMR spectroscopy has been recognised by the UKRI's recent and largest-ever investment of £20 M in NMR spectroscopy in a UK-wide network of NMR spectroscopy facilities in 2018 which was matched by substantial provision of ongoing support through expert personnel and specialist infrastructure by the host institutions. Together these and previous significant capital investments made by UK research intensive universities, research councils and medical charities position the UK at the forefront of NMR technologies and will enable a very wide range of scientific investigations with a depth that was previously impossible.To ensure that we maximise the value of this capital investment, this proposal aims to establish a national NMR network in the physical and life sciences, Connect NMR UK, integrating the three main existing interdisciplinary communities (UK solid-state NMR; liquid-state, biological NMR; UK NMR managers group) and two learned societies (Royal Society of Chemistry NMR Discussion Group; Institute of Physics Magnetic Resonance Group) and connecting all of these NMR facilities through a central web portal, annual discussion forum, workshops and training scholarships. This will ensure we link the NMR solutions provided by the latest instrumentation and personnel, centred around the very- and ultra-high field NMR facilities, with the challenges being tackled by the UK's leading scientists. Providing these scientists with access to the cutting edge capabilities, sharing knowledge from the experts in these NMR facilities with the wider UK scientific community and exchanging best practice between the experts will ensure maximum value is obtained from the UKRI research council investment.

NMR光谱可以说是用于原子结构和行为研究的材料，化学和生物分子研究科学中最广泛使用的工具。它具有独特的强大能力，可以在原子水平上探测化学结构，并对其运动和化学环境的变化敏感。 NMR光谱法的重要性已被乌克里（Ukri）在2018年在英国范围内的NMR光谱设施网络中在NMR光谱范围内的最大和最大的NMR光谱投资所认识到，该网络与主机机构通过专家人员和专家基础设施提供了实质性的支持。 Together these and previous significant capital investments made by UK research intensive universities, research councils and medical charities position the UK at the forefront of NMR technologies and will enable a very wide range of scientific investments with a depth that was Previously impossible.To ensure that we maximis the value of this capital investment, this proposal aims to establish a national NMR network in the physical and life sciences, Connect NMR UK, integrating the three main existing interdisciplinary communities (UK固态NMR；液态，生物NMR；英国NMR经理小组）和两个学识渊博的社会（皇家化学学会NMR讨论小组；物理学磁共振集团），并通过中央网络门户网站，年度讨论论坛，研讨会和培训奖学金将所有这些NMR设施连接起来。这将确保我们将最新的仪器和人员提供的NMR解决方案链接为围绕非常高的现场NMR设施，并由英国领先的科学家应对的挑战。向这些科学家提供尖端能力，与更广泛的英国科学界分享这些NMR设施专家的知识，并在专家之间进行交流最佳实践，将确保从乌克里研究委员会投资获得最大价值。
