What is NAN?
NAN is a collaborative initiative involving UConn Health, UGA, and UW-Madison. Its mission is to democratize the utilization of high-field NMR in biomedicine, materials science, and chemistry. NAN will offer 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 the three participating institutions. It is hoped that once built, NAN will expand to additional facilities.
NAN provides a suite of four Knowledgebases (KBs) in Bio Solids, Material Solids, Bio Solution, and Metabolomics that comprehensively guide users through all stages of an NMR experiment; sample preparation, vetted pulse programs, experimental setup, and data processing and analysis. Through the NAN portal, users can discover facilities, instruments, and KB resources to help users of all experience levels utilize NMR in their research. On the portal, dashboards provide data input forms for (1) facility staff to enter facility and instrument information, (2) principal investigators 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), which 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.
