ARFMP: Modernization of the Barclay Biology Teaching Laboratory

学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP） 研究设施办公室的一项奖励为洛基提供资金 山地生物实验室，一个独立的非营利领域 站，以取代巴克莱教学实验室， 房屋实验为导向，高海拔领域生物 研究和研究培训活动。 这个建筑是 建于1967年，从未翻新过。 其 更换是完全合理和符合成本效益的。 ARFMP 100，000美元的赠款和受赠人提供的115，137美元作为费用 共享将被用来使这些研究和研究现代化 培训设施，这将加强实验室组成部分， 在落基山生物实验室进行的实地项目 并消除一些季节性限制的行为， research. 该项目将解决改善 利用现有的研究基础设施， 原建筑物用于建造另一建筑物， 更好的设计。 该奖项有助于科学的基础设施， 为开展研究提供更好的环境， 培养高素质的学生和教师。 大 许多机构的学生目前正在 在野外生物学方面接受过洛基学院杰出生物学家的培训 山区生物实验室，尽管条件不利 这是一个典范。 建议的改善措施将确保 在已经成功的教师研究中继续增长， 计划将继续进行，并将进一步强调 学生研究和研究训练。

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.
