This proposal is intended to replace four obsolete instruments and accessories with an average age of 18 years. The acquisition of new instruments is vital to maintaining the ACS certification of undergraduate chemistry degrees including the newly approved B.S. in Biochemistry and obtaining approval for a proposed multidisciplinary B.S. degree in forensic science. These instruments are used in CHEM2880/3530/3880/4230/4530/4630/4780/4880 courses (237 students) and may be used to demonstrate experiments via remote access and benefit a large number of the 1400 chemistry, science, and pre-professional majors who take courses within the department. The requested instruments allow students to develop special skills useful for finding employment in industry or pursuing graduate or professional degrees and are necessary additions to the anticipated new science building at MTSU. Several undergraduate programs such as URSCA, StepMT, TLSAMP, Project SEED, and McNair are dependent on the availability of such instrumentation for research. Therefore, the award of TAF funding for the proposed instruments will demonstrate MTSU’s commitment to research and help secure future external funding to ensure viability of these programs. This proposal is accompanied by a one-time exclusive offer by a vendor that quoted these instruments at an unprecedented 34% discount through a unique partnership arrangement.
