ARFMP: Renovation of the Science Complex at Morgan State University

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为摩根州立大学提供资金，用于翻新和维修科学综合大楼的斯宾塞和卡洛韦翼，该翼用于生物学，化学和物理学的研究和研究培训活动。这座建筑建于1953年，目前正在进行一些翻新。由受助者提供的186,325美元和575,000美元的ARFMP赠款将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将通过重新配置空间，增加学生研究实验室的壁柜，创建分子生物学实验室，并安装研究人员访问计算机所需的线路，来解决改善当前研究基础设施的需求。该奖项通过为进行研究和培养本科生和研究生提供更好的环境，为科学和工程的基础设施做出了贡献。该项目将对少数民族学生的教育以及少数民族学生进入和保留人力资源管道产生影响。它将使摩根州立大学能够更顺利地推进其扩大研究生科学项目的计划，包括生物学、化学和物理学的硕士学位以及应用物理学的博士学位。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Morgan State University for the renovation and repair of the Spencer and Calloway wings of the Science Complex which house research and research training activities in biology, chemistry, and physics. This building was constructed in 1953 and some renovation is currently underway. This ARFMP grant of $186,325 and $575,000 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 current research infrastructure by reconfiguring the space, adding wall cabinets in the Student Research Laboratory, creating a molecular biology laboratory, and installing wiring necessary for computer access by researchers. 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 undergraduate and graduate students. The project will have an impact on minority student education and the entry and retention of minority students in the human resources pipeline. It will enable Morgan State University to move forward more smoothly with its plans for expansion of graduate science programs to include master's degrees in biology, chemistry, and physics and the doctoral degree in applied physics.
