This grant, offered by the National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences (NSF OCE), is for the purpose of operating the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (NOSAMS) facility. Each year, numerous environmental samples collected through NSF-funded ocean science programs require precise 14C analyses to determine their age. These samples include seawater and various carbon-bearing materials crucial for research. The NOSAMS facility provides these vital analytical services and conducts research into new 14C dating methods specifically tailored for oceanography-related samples. This solicitation seeks proposals to ensure the continued operation of NOSAMS, providing essential services and advancements for the broader ocean sciences research community.

| Description: | The Division of Ocean Sciences (OCE) at the National Science Foundation (NSF) funds numerous research programs that collect environmental samples. Each year, thousands of these samples require analyses of environmental-level 14C abundances to determine the age of the samples. Sample types include sea water and a wide variety of other carbon-bearing materials. In order to process these samples and to provide research on new methods for 14C dating of oceanography-related samples, OCE supports the National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (NOSAMS) facility. This solicitation seeks proposals to operate NOSAMS and provide necessary services to the ocean sciences research community. |
