Background
HWB•NMR was principally established to support peer-reviewed academic research through generous funding from the Wellcome Trust, HEFCE and University of Birmingham. Additional equipment was purchased through awards from Advantage West Midlands, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, BBSRC, Cancer Research UK, EPSRC/UKRI, European Commission, NERC, and Wellcome Trust, and through partnerships with Bruker, Oxford Instruments and Varian Inc.
Full economic costs (fEC)
The full cost of running a spectrometer at HWB•NMR covers the cryogens and other consumables, service contracts and repairs, NMR staff time dedicated to running the facility, building charges and depreciation of some equipment.
Standard Academic Rates
Academic users are expected to contribute to some of the critical costs associated with operating the facility. However, it should be understood that the academic access fees cover only a fraction of the total costs of operation.
Industry rates
Please contact HWB•NMR staff for current industry access and rates information.
Special rates
Collaborative rates are available through the University of Birmingham (please enquire for details).
Any concerns or questions should be directed to HWB•NMR staff members, including Teresa Carlomagno and Sara Whittaker.
