Dear NMR Colleagues,


NSF just issued a dear colleague letter for those institutions that may need
to acquire He recovery systems. Please spread the word to the AMMRL and IVAN


. The link for the DCL is:

Dear Colleague Letter: NSF Options to Address Helium Supply Shortage Concerns (nsf22088) |
NSF - National Science Foundation
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2022/nsf22088/nsf22088.jsp__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!ELcgyTPjTRUuuaD3dXVPkgTkXKTxhrzmcIgpbHTmwohKZwi36x1hEiFqfuLaC3GFLj3AhupCukRLDleQfTg$>



"NSF BIO and MPS/CHE recognizes the significant community concerns related to
the helium shortage and seeks to remind potentially impacted research facility
managers that the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) has
provisions to support the acquisition of specialized equipment through submission
of equipment proposals (see PAPPG Chapter II.E.10
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappg22_1/pappg_2.jsp*IIE10__;Iw!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!ELcgyTPjTRUuuaD3dXVPkgTkXKTxhrzmcIgpbHTmwohKZwi36x1hEiFqfuLaC3GFLj3AhupCukRLgHc3A2Y$>).
These equipment proposals are externally reviewed, usually in competition with
regular research or education projects. With this DCL, BIO and MPS/CHE are inviting
the submission of equipment proposals to support the acquisition of helium recovery
systems in shared research instrument facilities."

Best regards,
Martha Morton
