This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Mount Holyoke College for the renovation and repair of Carr Laboratory which houses that institution's polymer chemistry, physical organic chemistry, biophysical chemistry, and enzyme mechanisms and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy research and research training activities. This building was constructed in 1954 and has not been renovated since that time. The ARFMP grant of $100,000 and $100,000 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 research infrastructure by bringing the laboratory benches, cabinets, sinks, and fume hoods up to modern standards and by making the bench tops chemically resistant and level once again. The proposed renovation will have a clear and significant impact on the quality, quantity, and diversity of research and research training pursued at Mount Holyoke. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate students. Mount Holyoke is regarded as the leading producer in the United States of women chemists who go on to earn the Ph.D. degree. This renovation will allow Mount Holyoke College to maintain its long tradition of preparing some of the most talented young women in the country for careers in chemistry and related sciences.

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为霍利奥克山学院提供资金，用于卡尔实验室的翻新和维修，该实验室容纳了该机构的聚合物化学、物理有机化学、生物物理化学、以及酶机制和核磁共振波谱学的研究和科研培训活动。这座建筑建于1954年，从那时起就没有翻修过。ARFMP拨款的10万美元和受资方提供的10万美元作为费用分摊，将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将解决改善研究基础设施的需求，将实验室工作台、橱柜、水槽和通风柜提高到现代标准，并使工作台台面耐化学腐蚀并再次平整。拟议的改造将对霍利奥克山大学的研究和研究培训的质量、数量和多样性产生明显而重大的影响。该奖项通过为进行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。霍利奥克山大学被认为是美国培养获得博士学位的女化学家的主要学府。这次翻新将使芒特霍利奥克学院保持其悠久的传统，为全国最有才华的年轻女性在化学和相关科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。
