What is NAN?
NAN is a collaborative initiative involving the Gregory P. Mullen Structural Biology Facility at UConn Health, the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center (CCRC) at UGA, and the National Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison (NMRFAM) at UW-Madison. Its mission is to democratize the utilization of high-field NMR in biomedicine, materials science, and chemistry and provide data stewardship through the NAN Archive. NAN offers open-access to two 1.1 GHz NMR instruments specialized for solids (UW-Madison) and solutions (UGA), along with a roster of additional NMR instruments at participating facilities which may be discovered through the web portal.
NAN provides a suite of four Knowledgebases (KBs) in Bio Solids, Material Solids, Bio Solutions, and Metabolomics that comprehensively guide novice and expert users through discovering how NMR may be utilized to study interesting scientific problems as well as KB datasets with all the resources need to run NMR experiments.
Portal dashboards provide tools for (1) facility staff to manage facility, instrument, and probe information, as well as manage facility users, (2) PIs to create projects and manage lab members, and (3) a virtual network operations center for monitoring NAN.
A distinguishing feature is the NAN Data Transport System (NDTS) and Data Browser. NDTS automatically harvests experimental data and archives it in a secure repository. Datasets are linked with rich metadata such as instrument, parameters, user, project, sample, and other information. Users view and manipulate data in an advanced Data Browser where they can edit experiments, add notes, classify experiments, and organize data into projects, studies, and collections. PIs own data collected in their lab and control access. Users can create detailed sample records and link samples with datasets.

NAN Portal Resources

The NAN portal is composed of a Resource Connector which is accessible publicly as well as pages requiring an NMRhub account for access. See the User Roles and Permissions page for a full list of user roles. The NAN Resources for authenticated users are itemized in a collapsible menu on the left hand side of the web-portal and organized as follows:
- Resource Connector (publicly accessible content)
- Facilities (list of facilities connected to the NAN Network)
- Instruments (list of instruments connected to the NAN Network)
- Knowledgebases
- Knowledgebases for non-Experts (non-expert content to discover the utility of NMR across a wide range of scientific disciplines)
- Knowledgebase Datasets (well vetted pulse programs with parameter sets, example data, processing scripts, and protocols)
- Materials Periodic Table (to explore the feasibility of utilizing NMR in materials science)
- Vignette Library (a place to highlight publications utilizing NMR)
- Public & Published datasets and collections
- Facility Dashboards (only visible / accessible by NMR facility managers and staff)
- Operations Dashboards
- Data Browsers (accessible to authenticated NMRhub users for viewing datasets, samples, collections, and their permissions)
- UHF Access (accessible to authenticated NMRhub users to request access to the two 1.1 GHz NAN spectrometers)
- Lab Administration (accessible by PIs and PI delegates to manage lab members, permissions, projects, and funding) (Only visible to PIs and PI Delegates)
NAN Data Transport System (NDTS)
NDTS is a system for automatically harvesting data from NAN connected spectrometers to the central NAN archive. NDTS is comprised of a Daemon and lightweight GUI installed on the spectrometer workstations, Gateway software running on a dedicated computer within the NMR facility, and a Receiver and Parser running within the NAN datacenter. NMR facility staff manage the NDTS settings for users through the NAN portal and can adjust NDTS settings through configuration files. Harvested datasets are viewable in the Dataset Browser by those with proper permissions set by PIs as well as facility managers have access to all data collected in their facility.
See the NDTS Documentation for detailed information on NDTS installation, configuration, usage, troubleshooting, and detailed explanation on how NDTS functions.
Help & Support
Support Tickets
Support tickets may be created from within the NAN Portal by:
- Selecting the NMRhub widget in the top right corner of all NAN portal pages. From the widget enter your Email Address (only needed if not logged in with an NMRhub account), enter your Message, and selecting Submit.
- This is the preferred method as it allows us to track the page where you are having issues.
- Support tickets may also be generated by sending an email to support@usnan.org
