ARFMP: Renovation of Chemistry Research Laboratories

由研究设施办公室颁发的这项学术研究设施现代化计划(ARFMP)奖为芒特霍利奥克学院提供资金，用于翻新和维修CARR实验室，该实验室拥有该机构的聚合物化学、物理有机化学、生物物理化学和酶机制以及核磁共振波谱研究和研究培训活动。这座建筑建于1954年，此后一直没有翻修过。受赠人提供的100,000美元和100,000美元的ARFMP赠款将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将解决改善研究基础设施的需要，方法是使实验室的工作台、橱柜、水槽和通风柜达到现代标准，并使工作台台面再次耐化学腐蚀和平整。拟议的翻修将对芒特霍利奥克的研究和研究培训的质量、数量和多样性产生明显和重大的影响。该奖项通过为开展研究和培养高质量的本科生提供一个更好的环境，为科学基础设施做出了贡献。芒特霍利奥克被认为是美国领先的女化学家，她们继续获得博士学位。这次翻修将使曼荷莲学院保持其悠久的传统，为美国一些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准备。

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.
