## Abstract

Project Summary
The Rhode Island IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (RI-INBRE) program aims
to improve institutional biomedical research capacity and expand student training opportunities
in Rhode Island. These goals are accomplished by supporting faculty development and
providing hands-on instrument training. This administrative supplement requests a helium
recycling system funding for Brown University's Structural Biology NMR facility, one of several
RI-INBRE CRCF Extension Laboratories (CELs). High-resolution NMR spectrometers for
biomolecular work require superconducting magnets cooled by liquid helium. There is a helium
shortage that is threatening NMR systems worldwide. The requested system will allow
recycling helium to reduce consumption, conserving this non-renewable resource.
