Principal applicant (PA) Towler is submitting for consideration the purchase of an inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). This apparatus enables researchers to determine the reactivity of bioactive materials. Simply, ICP-OES evaluates ion release from materials, which is then used to predict the environmental response to that material as a function of the quantity of ions released. This information directly relates to a material's degradability and likely bioactive response in vivo. ******Towler's Clinical Materials & Diagnostics (CMD) lab is one of the most well-funded in Ryerson's Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science (FEAS), with over C$2.6M in federal funds alone since commencement of his tenure in 2013 (C$1.8M from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, CIHR, and C$800k from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council, NSERC). ******The CMD's HQP (currently three post-doctoral fellows, six PhD and five MASc students) are developing novel glass and ceramic-based materials predominantly to benefit Canada's ageing population. Towler is the only faculty working in the glass and ceramics field in Ryerson and as a result, there is little in-house core equipment in his discipline.******Although Towler has purchased as much glass characterization equipment as his funds have allowed, there is still one critical piece of equipment he has neither been able to purchase nor find unfettered access to in the last five years, and that is ICP-OES. In order to:***1. minimize the drain of outsourcing such characterisation on federal funds, ***2. maximise the quality and quantity of peer-reviewed output,***3. expand into new scientific areas, and ***4. improve the HQP experience. ***Towler is requesting funds for this essential piece of materials analysis equipment. ******There is tremendous potential to improve the quality of science resulting from the CMD by accepting this request as it will have a ‘knock on' effect on the HQP experience and increase the likelihood of their retention in academia and industry in Canada.**

主要申请人（PA）Towler正在提交购买电感耦合等离子体-光学发射光谱仪（ICP-OES）的申请。该装置使研究人员能够确定生物活性材料的反应性。简单地说，ICP-OES评估材料的离子释放，然后用于预测环境对该材料的反应，作为释放离子量的函数。该信息直接涉及材料的降解性和可能的体内生物活性反应。**Towler的临床材料与诊断（CMD）实验室是瑞尔森工程与建筑科学学院（FEAS）中资金最充足的实验室之一，自2013年任职以来，仅联邦资金就超过260万加元（180万加元来自加拿大卫生研究院CIHR，80万加元来自国家科学与工程研究理事会NSERC）。 ** CMD的HQP（目前有三名博士后研究员，六名博士和五名MASc学生）正在开发新型玻璃和陶瓷基材料，主要用于造福加拿大的老龄化人口。Towler是唯一的教师在瑞尔森玻璃和陶瓷领域工作，因此，在他的学科几乎没有内部核心设备。虽然Towler已经购买了尽可能多的玻璃表征设备，他的资金允许，仍然有一个关键的设备，他既没有能够购买，也没有找到不受限制的访问在过去五年，这是ICP-OES。 为了：*1。最大限度地减少外包这种表征对联邦资金的消耗，*2.最大限度地提高同行审查产出的质量和数量，*3.拓展新的科学领域，以及 *4。改善HQP体验。*Towler正在申请资金用于这一重要的材料分析设备。****** 通过接受这一请求，有巨大的潜力提高CMD产生的科学质量，因为它将对HQP的经验产生“敲门”效应，并增加他们在加拿大学术界和工业界保留的可能性。
