An award is made to Montana State University (MSU) to acquire a helium recovery system to reduce the consumption of liquid helium used in MSU’s NMR Core Facility. The system will lower the facility’s operational costs and carbon footprint, making the NMR Core’s activities more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Liquid helium is required for the operation the state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers, and the helium recovery system is an essential enhancement to research infrastructure that supports researchers carrying out frontier research and educational activities. The NMR Core is critical to MSU’s land grant mission, which promotes research, teaching, and outreach throughout the state of Montana. The helium recovery system will enhance MSU’s contributions to high quality graduate and undergraduate student education and will expand the Core’s ability to promote hands-on training of students through workshops, teaching of courses, and tours and demonstrations promoting scientific education.NMR spectroscopy is one of the most powerful tools for the elucidation of the structure of molecules, to identify unknown substances, and to characterize the arrangements of atoms within molecules. The helium recovery system will benefit the research of numerous scientists, staff, students, and outside (academic and non-academic) users of MSU’s NMR Core Facility. The NMR Core serves as a resource for chemists, engineers, biochemists, and other scientists at MSU, the University of Montana, and Tribal Colleges, throughout Montana and the upper northwest region of the United States. In addition to its critical role for early career faculty, the NMR Core provides essential support for established researchers including biochemists, organic chemists, medicinal chemists, bioinorganic chemists, and other campus-wide faculty engaged in metabolomics, biofuels, animals and livestock, and biofilm research, which will all benefit from installation of a helium recovery system in MSU’s NMR Core Facility.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.

向蒙大拿州立大学（MSU）颁发了奖励，以获取一种氦回收系统，以减少MSU NMR核心设施中使用的液体氦气的消费。该系统将降低设施的运营成本和碳足迹，从而使NMR Core的活动更加可持续和环保。操作是最先进的NMR光谱仪所需的液体氦气，而氦恢复系统是研究基础设施的重要增强，该研究人员支持研究人员进行边境研究和教育活动。 NMR核心对于MSU的土地赠款任务至关重要，该任务促进了整个蒙大拿州的研究，教学和推广。氦恢复系统将增强密歇根州立大学对高质量的研究生和本科学生教育的贡献，并将扩大核心通过研讨会，课程教学以及促进科学教育的旅游和示范的能力来促进学生对学生进行动手培训。NMR光谱谱是在促进分子的结构中最强大的工具之一，以确定摩尔群的结构，以确定摩尔群的构造，并确定了众所周知的典型化。氦恢复系统将使MSU NMR核心设施的众多科学家，员工，学生以及外部（学术和非学术）使用者受益。 NMR核心是MSU，MONTANA大学和部落学院的化学家，工程师，生物化学家和其他科学家的资源。 In addition to its critical role for early career faculty, the NMR Core provides essential support for established researchers including biochemists, organic chemists, medicinal chemists, bioinorganic chemists, and other campus-wide faculty engaged in metabolomics, biofuels, animals and livestock, and biofilm research, which will all benefit from installation of a helium recovery system in MSU’s NMR Core Facility.This award reflects NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估，被认为是宝贵的支持。
