Joining NAN
Overview
The goal of NAN is to democratize access to high-field NMR and to unlock latent knowledge in the collective body of experimental data by making it more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). A key feature of NAN is its advanced data browser, which enables users and labs to organize, explore, and search their datasets with ease. NAN welcomes new NMR facilities that share this vision to join the network. Membership requires a commitment to meet technical standards, contribute to shared knowledgebases, and participate in governance through the Advisory Committee (AC). Admission to NAN is subject to a majority vote by the AC.
Contact Information
Facilities interested in joining NAN are encourage to contact a member of the NAN leadership team, and to read the NAN technical requirements, NAN Charter, and NAN Terms & Conditions.
Fees
NAN does not currently charge fees for membership or data services. However if sustaining NAN as a free resource becomes impossible, any fee structure will be determined by the AC.
