The PIs request funding to acquire a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) with a multipurpose sampler for Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC). The requested instrument has a scan range that will enable it to detect and identify a diverse range of compounds. The multipurpose sampler will allow liquid and headspace samples to be injected manually or with an autosampler. It will also allow samples to be concentrated and then be desorbed and injected into the GC/MS. The instrument will be used by marine scientists and students, including many members of underrepresented groups, at SPMC and by visiting scientists and student researchers from other institutions who are working at SPMC. This instrument system will provide capabilities that are currently unavailable to researchers at the lab, even at the main Western Washington University campus. The instrument purchased on this grant will be used by SPMC faculty and research staff, visiting scientists, and participants in SPMC?s NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates and Multicultural Initiative in the Marine Science: Undergraduate Participation programs.Broader Impacts: SPMC has a long track record of training and education of underrepresented groups, including the 2002 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring for their Multicultural Initiative in Marine Sciences. SPMC has Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Multicultural Initiative in the Marine Sciences: Undergraduate Participation (MIMSUP) programs. There is also a strong track record of dissemination of research results, including both presentations at conferences and publication in peer reviewed journals. In support of basic science, as this MRI is, the SPMC group has demonstrated noteworthy dedication to impacting diverse areas of science and segments of society.

PI 请求资金为香农角海洋中心 (SPMC) 购买一台带有多功能采样器的气相色谱仪/质谱仪 (GC/MS)。所需仪器的扫描范围使其能够检测和识别各种化合物。多用途进样器允许手动或使用自动进样器注入液体和顶空样品。它还允许样品浓缩，然后解吸并注入 GC/MS。该仪器将供 SPMC 的海洋科学家和学生（包括许多代表性不足群体的成员）以及在 SPMC 工作的其他机构的访问科学家和学生研究人员使用。该仪器系统将提供实验室研究人员目前无法获得的功能，甚至在西华盛顿大学主校区也是如此。这笔赠款购买的仪器将供 SPMC 教职员工和研究人员、访问科学家以及 SPMC 的 NSF 资助的本科生研究经验和海洋科学多元文化倡议的参与者使用：本科生参与计划。 更广泛的影响：SPMC 具有在对代表性不足的群体进行培训和教育方面有着长期的记录，包括 2002 年因其在海洋科学领域的多元文化倡议而获得的科学、数学和工程指导卓越总统奖。 SPMC 拥有本科生研究经验 (REU) 和海洋科学多元文化倡议：本科生参与 (MIMSUP) 项目。研究成果的传播也有着良好的记录，包括在会议上的演讲和在同行评审期刊上的发表。为了支持基础科学，就像这个 MRI 一样，SPMC 小组在影响科学的不同领域和社会各阶层方面表现出了值得注意的奉献精神。
