ARFMP: Modernization of Conklin Marine Science Laboratories

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为百慕大生物研究站（BBSR）提供资金，用于修复和翻新康克林实验室，该实验室在生物学、化学和海洋学方面进行研究和研究培训活动。这座建筑建于1961年，最后一次翻修是在1980年。受资方提供的20万美元和238,725美元的ARFMP赠款将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将解决改善当前研究基础设施的需求，以加强现有项目并鼓励更复杂的研究。改造将提供高标准的电力、溶剂和化学品存储、海水和计算机网络基础设施，这些设施对实验室操作的许多领域都提出了特别困难的问题。该奖项通过为越来越多的科学家和学生提供更好的研究和研究培训环境，为科学基础设施做出了贡献，这些科学家和学生希望利用BBSR的关键位置来追求全球地球科学和海洋分子生物学的新举措。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Bermuda Biological Station for Research (BBSR) for the repair and renovation of the Conklin Laboratories which house research and research training activities in biology, chemistry, and oceanography. This building was constructed in 1961 and last renovated in 1980. The ARFMP grant of $200,000 and $238,725 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure so as to strengthen existing programs and encourage more sophisticated research. The renovation will provide high standards of power, solvent and chemical storage, seawater, and computer network infrastructure in a location which presents particularly difficult problems for many areas of laboratory operations. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved research and research training environment to an increasing number of scientists and students wishing to take advantage of the key location of BBSR for the pursuit of new initiatives in global geosciences and marine molecular biology.
