ARFMP: Renovation of Botanical 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，为兰乔圣安娜植物园提供资金，用于更换种子储存设施和温室，并用于修复和翻新实验室，这些实验室用于系统和进化植物学研究和研究培训活动。这些建筑分别建于1950年以前、1960年和1969年，至今没有翻修过。ARFMP提供的40万美元和40万美元作为费用分摊，将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化，这将允许当前的研究和研究培训计划扩大范围和持续时间，并包括一系列目前无法使用的实验程序。这一项目将通过为研究和研究培训提供适当加热、冷却的空间，解决在健康和安全以及可进行的研究的数量、质量和多样性方面改进现有研究基础设施的需要。通风，符合现行建筑规范。该奖项为科学基础设施的建设做出了贡献，为进行系统的和进化的植物学研究提供了更好的环境，并为培养高素质的研究生提供了一个项目，该项目在少数民族学生的研究培训中起着重要作用，擅长于将田野、温室、实验室、以及植物标本室的研究技术，这满足了它对训练有素的植物系统学家的重要需求。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens for the replacement of a seed storage facility and greenhouses and for the repair and renovation of laboratories which house systematic and evolutionary botanical research and research training activities. These buildings were constructed, respectively, in pre-1950, 1960, and 1969 and none of them has been renovated to date. The ARFMP grant of $400,000 and $400,000 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities which will permit current research and research training programs to expand in scope and duration and to encompass an array of experimental procedures that it is currently infeasible to use. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure both in terms of health and safety and of the quantity, quality, and diversity of research that can be conducted by providing space for research and research training which is adequately heated, cooled, and ventilated and which conforms to current building codes. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of systematic and evolutionary botanical research and for the training of quality graduate students in a program that plays an important role in the research training of minority students, that excels in its integration of field, greenhouse, laboratory, and herbarium research techniques, and that fills an important need in its production of well- and broadly-trained plant systematists.
