ARFMP: Renovation of Multi-Disciplinary Research Facilities

学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP） 来自研究设施办公室的奖项提供资金， 加州大学斯克里普斯海洋研究所 圣地亚哥斯维尔德鲁普大厅的翻新和修复， 容纳了广泛多样的物理学研究活动， 地球化学、生物化学、空间物理学、海洋地质学， 生物海洋学 这座建筑建于1960年， 以前没有翻新过。 55万美元的非洲区域森林管理方案赠款， 受赠方作为费用分摊提供的585 303美元将用于 使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。 这 该项目将解决需要改善目前的研究 通过更新电力系统和基础设施， 供暖、通风和空调系统， 现代化的研究设备和计算机可以操作和样品 和设备可以免受有害影响 暴露于含盐空气环境。 该奖项有助于科学的基础设施， 提供更好的环境， 特别是在海洋科学方面进行更好的研究， 提高所有研究和研究培训的效力 在Sverdrup Hall举行。 它将使斯克里普斯的科学家们 继续进行调查，迅速采取行动， 有效地进入新的研究领域，它将促进 培养出更高质量的研究生， 他们在过去，移动到教师职位在整个 在那里，他们将对海洋质量产生影响 科学在这一代和未来几代人。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Scripps Institute of Oceanography of the University of California San Diego for the renovation and repair of Sverdrup Hall which houses a wide diversity of research activities in geophysics, geochemistry, biochemistry, space physics, marine geology, and biological oceanography. This building was constructed in 1960 and has not previously been renovated. The ARFMP grant of $550,000 and $585,303 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 renovating the electrical power system and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system so that modern research equipment and computers can be operated and samples and equipment can be protected from the deleterious effects of exposure to the salt-air environment. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of more and better research in marine sciences in particular and for the increased effectiveness of all research and research training conducted in Sverdrup Hall. It will enable scientists at Scripps to pursue ongoing investigations and to move quickly and efficiently into new areas of research, and it will facilitate the production of even higher quality graduate students who will, as they have in the past, move on to faculty positions throughout the nation where they will have an impact on the quality of ocean sciences in this and future generations.
