The National Ultrahigh-Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facility for Solids is a national scientific user facility originally funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Recherche Québec, and the National Research Council Canada (NRC). This facility is seen as the most cost-effective way to provide the Canadian NMR community access to a world-leading NMR centre for advancing the science of materials and the innovative development of technologically advanced products. The University of Ottawa manages the NMR facility. It is an outstanding example of the results which can be obtained through synergistic collaborations between academic researchers, government researchers, and industry. The equipment consists of a 900 MHz NMR spectrometer with magnet, console, probes and ancillary equipment to acquire ultrahigh field static and fast spinning spectra of solid materials. This type of dedicated solids instrument is not available elsewhere in Canada. Since 2005, hundreds of scientists from more than 20 institutions across Canada have used the Facility. It continues to have a transformative impact on the research programs of rising stars and established researchers across the country. This proposal requests operations and maintenance funding of the Facility Manager’s position and for equipment service contracts, which are absolutely critical to Facility operations. The request is for $150k per year, for two years. Remaining expenses are covered through membership dues, user fees, and cash contributions from industry.

国家固体超高场核磁共振设施是一个国家科学用户设施，最初由加拿大创新基金会(CFI)、安大略省研究和创新部、加拿大自然科学和工程研究委员会(NSERC)、魁北克公司和加拿大国家研究委员会(NRC)资助。这一设施被视为为加拿大核磁共振社区提供世界领先的核磁共振中心的最具成本效益的方式，以促进材料科学的发展和技术先进产品的创新开发。渥太华大学负责管理核磁共振设备。这是通过学术研究人员、政府研究人员和行业之间的协同合作可以获得的结果的一个突出例子。该装置由900 MHz核磁共振谱仪、控制台、探头和辅助设备组成，用于获取固体材料的超高场静态和快速自旋光谱。这种专用固体仪器在加拿大其他地方是买不到的。自2005年以来，来自加拿大20多个机构的数百名科学家使用了该设施。它继续对全国各地后起之秀和老牌研究人员的研究计划产生变革性的影响。这项提议要求为设施经理的职位和设备服务合同提供运营和维护资金，这对设施的运营是绝对关键的。申请为期两年，每年15万美元。剩余的费用通过会费、使用费和来自行业的现金捐款来支付。
