ARFMP: Research Facilities Modernization in Geological Sciences

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)奖向密歇根大学安娜堡分校提供资金，用于C.C.小楼的翻新和维修，该小楼容纳了地质科学系的X射线矿物学、古地磁和岩石磁学、矿物分离以及地震/地球动力学研究和研究培训活动。这座建筑建于1920年，最后一次翻修是在1970年。受赠人提供的350,000美元和353,570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，方法是对其进行重新配置，使其更有效率，并提供足够的电力和油烟排放系统以及安全可靠的研究作业所需的环境控制和计算机网络连接。该奖项通过为开展研究和培养高质量的本科生和研究生提供更好的环境，为科学和工程基础设施做出贡献。此外，该项目中将进行现代化的实验室是博士后项目以及与全国各地的大学和行业合作研究的重点，也是许多类型的仪器密集型地质学研究的非正式地区和国家中心。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of Michigan Ann Arbor for the renovation and repair of the C. C. Little Building which houses the x-ray mineralogical, paleomagnetic and rock magnetic, mineral separation, and seismological/geodynamics research and research training activities of the Department of Geological Sciences. This building was constructed in 1920 and last renovated in 1970. The ARFMP grant of $350,000 and $353,570 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 reconfiguring it so that it is more efficient and by providing adequate power and fume exhaust systems and environmental controls and computer network connectivity necessary for safe and reliable research operations. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science and engineering by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students. Also the laboratories to be modernized in this project serve as a focus for postdoctoral programs and collaborative and cooperative research with university and industry throughout the nation and as an informal regional and national center for many types of instrument-intensive research in geology.
