ARFMP: Relocation and Renovation of Protein Sequencing and Biopolymer Facilities

这项由研究设施办公室颁发的学术研究设施现代化计划(ARFMP)奖为洛克菲勒大学提供资金，用于蛋白质测序设施的翻新和维修，该设施包含蛋白质化学和双聚合物研究、研究培训和研究服务，这些是洛克菲勒大学100多名研究人员在生物化学和细胞和分子生物学方面的研究不可或缺的。这座建筑建于1930年，最后一次翻修是在1982年。受赠人提供的275,000美元和424,461美元的ARFMP赠款作为费用分摊，将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要，办法是：(A)将蛋白质测序、多肽和寡核苷酸合成以及氨基酸分析等活动合并到一个地点；(B)安装必要的设施，以便氢氟酸罩和裂解装置以及应用生物系统多肽合成器能够运行。该奖项为科学基础设施提供了一个更好的环境，为以生物学研究的重要性而闻名的优秀教员提供重要的研究服务，并为培养高质量的研究生和博士后学生做出贡献。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Rockefeller University for the renovation and repair of the Protein Sequencing Facility which houses protein chemistry and bipolymer research, research training, and research services that are integral to the research of over 100 Rockefeller University investigators in biochemistry and in cell and molecular biology. This building was constructed in 1930 and last renovated in 1982. The ARFMP grant of $275,000 and $424,461 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 by (a) consolidating into one location the activities of protein sequencing, peptide and oligonucleotide synthesis, and amino acid analysis; and (b) installing the necessary utilities so that a hydrofluoric acid hood and cleavage apparatus and an Applied Biosystems peptide synthesizer can be operated. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for supplying vital research services to an excellent faculty widely known for the significance of their biological research and for the training of quality graduate and postdoctoral students.
