This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, an independent nonprofit field station, for replacement of Barclay Teaching Laboratory which houses experimentally-oriented, high-altitude field biological research and research training activities. This building was constructed in 1967 and has never been previously renovated. Its replacement is fully justified and cost-effective. The ARFMP grant of $100,000 and $115,137 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities which will enhance the laboratory component of field projects carried out at Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory and remove some of the seasonal constraints on the conduct of research. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure by utilizing the foundation of the original building for the construction of another building of better design. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality students and faculty. The large number of students from many institutions who are currently trained in field biology by outstanding biologists at Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, in spite of the adverse conditions that prevail, is exemplary. The proposed improvements will ensure that continued growth in the already successful faculty research program will proceed and that additional emphasis will be placed on student research and research training.

该研究机构办公室获得的学术研究机构现代化计划（ARFMP）奖为独立的非营利现场站洛基山生物实验室提供资金，以取代巴克莱教学实验室，该实验室容纳了实验，高空田间生物学研究和研究培训活动。 这座建筑建于1967年，从未经过翻新。 它的替代者完全合理且具有成本效益。 受赠人提供的ARFMP授予100,000美元和115,137美元，作为成本分配将用于现代化这些研究和研究培训设施，这将增强在落基山生物实验室进行的实地项目的实验室组成部分，并消除有关研究行为的一些季节性限制。 该项目将通过利用原始建筑的基础来建造另一个更好的设计建筑，以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训优质的学生和教职员工提供改善的环境，为科学的基础设施做出了贡献。 来自许多机构的大量学生目前在落基山生物实验室接受过杰出的生物学家在现场生物学方面接受过培训，尽管盛行了不利的条件，但这是模范的。 拟议的改进将确保已经成功的教师研究计划的持续增长将继续进行，并且将向学生研究和研究培训提出其他重点。
