National High Magnetic Field Laboratory c1994

In 1989, Drs. Jack Crow, Don Parkin, and Neil Sullivan, representing Florida State University, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the University of Florida respectively, submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation for a new national user laboratory supporting research in high magnetic fields. The plan articulated a new vision for a magnet laboratory:

* A model federal-state partnership
* Serving magnet-related research in nearly all areas of science
* Promoting interdisciplinary research
* Supporting science and technology education
* Working in partnership with industry to enhance the competitive position of the United States in areas of magnet-related research and development.

Following a stringent peer-review competition, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory was awarded to Florida State University in August 1990. The laboratory is strongly supported by the State of Florida and operated by FSU, UF, and LANL with state-of-the-art research facilities at all three sites.
