ARFMP: Biology Research Facilities Renovation at Canisius College

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Canisius学院提供资金，用于修复和翻新健康科学大楼，该大楼容纳了生物系的研究和研究培训活动。这座建筑建于1924年，最后一次翻修是在1969年。由受助者提供的664,513美元和664,513美元的ARFMP赠款将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将通过升级所有现有实验室的基本工作台服务、应急电源和通风柜，解决改善当前研究基础设施的需求；通过修改动物单位，以确保符合适当的州和联邦法规；并通过翻新供暖、通风和空调（HVAC）系统。该奖项通过为进行生物学研究和培养高素质本科生提供更好的环境，为科学基础设施做出了贡献。翻修预计将加强过去十年在Canisius学院的持续趋势，增加本科生参与研究作为其教育过程的一部分。强调在加尼修斯做研究的时间，这对引导学生对科学事业的兴趣产生了重大影响。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Canisius College for the repair and renovation of the Health Science Building which houses the research and research training activities of the Biology Department. This building was constructed in 1924 and last renovated in 1969. The ARFMP grant of $664,513 and $664,513 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 upgrading all existing laboratories with basic bench services, emergency power, and fume hoods; by modifying the animal unit to insure compliance with appropriate state and federal regulations; and by renovating the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of biological research and for the training of quality undergraduate students. The renovation is expected to enhance the continuing trend of the last decade at Canisius College of increasing undergraduate participation in research as part of their educational process. The emphasis on time spent doing research at Canisius which has had a major impact in directing students' interests toward careers in science.
