User fees will be charged based on hourly usage of the NMR spectrometers.
Usage times will be determined electronically using a script which
automatically logs the number of hours each user runs
the spectrometer control program XWINNMR. Users at present are not charged
additionally for training (other than the NMR time used) or for usage
of the facility computer workstations. The current fee schedule
(dollars per hour) is shown below:

Prior to requesting NMR time and accessing the NMR spectrometers, users are
required to submit on an annual basis an "
acceptance of use" available electronically
from the facility website.
The user fees are set in accordance with the
Operating Policies of the NMR facility and are intentionally designed to
be low enough to encourage heavy usage of the instruments by all interested
Investigators (Note - we attempt to recover only the portion of our operating
costs not provided by our funding sources, UTHSCSA ERC and Macromolecular Structure
Shared Resource of the San Antonio Cancer Institute).
