ARFMP: Renovation of Multi-Disciplinary Research Facilities

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为加州大学圣地亚哥分校斯克里普斯海洋学研究所提供资金，用于翻新和修复Sverdrup大厅，该大厅容纳了地球物理学、地球化学、生物化学、空间物理学、海洋地质学等领域的各种研究活动。还有生物海洋学。这座建筑建于1960年，此前从未翻修过。受资方提供的55万美元和585,303美元的ARFMP赠款将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将通过改造电力系统和供暖系统来解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要，通风和空调（HVAC）系统，使现代研究设备和计算机可以操作，并保护样品和设备免受暴露于含盐空气环境的有害影响。该奖项为科学基础设施做出了贡献，为开展更多更好的研究提供了更好的环境，特别是在海洋科学领域，并提高了在Sverdrup Hall进行的所有研究和研究培训的效率。它将使斯克里普斯的科学家们能够继续进行正在进行的研究，并迅速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，这些研究生将像过去一样，在全国各地担任教职，对这一代和后代的海洋科学质量产生影响。

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.
