ARFMP: Renovation of Botanical Research Facilities

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兰乔提供资金 圣安娜植物园更换了一个种子库 设施和温室，以及维修和翻新 系统和进化植物学实验室 研究和研究培训活动。 这些建筑 分别于1950年、1960年和1969年建造， 至今已被翻新。 40万美元的非洲区域森林管理方案赠款， 受赠方提供的40万美元分摊费用将用于 使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化， 将允许目前的研究和研究培训计划， 扩大范围和持续时间， 目前无法使用的实验程序。 该项目将解决需要改善目前的研究 在健康和安全方面， 研究的数量、质量和多样性 通过为研究和研究培训提供空间， 充分加热、冷却和通风，并符合 现行建筑规范。 该奖项有助于科学的基础设施， 提供更好的环境， 和进化植物学研究， 高质量的研究生在一个程序，发挥重要的 在少数民族学生的研究培训中的作用，擅长于 它集田间、温室、实验室和标本室于一体， 研究技术，这填补了一个重要的需求， 培养训练有素的植物系统学家。

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.
