9313532 Dwelle This award will provide funding for the renovation of the greenhouse and headhouse facilities at the University of Idaho, the primary institution for research and graduate training in the state. The departments using the facilities include: Biology, Bacteriology and Biochemistry, and Plant, Soil and Entomological Sciences. Although the facilities are structurally sound, numerous inadequacies exist and impede on the research activities conducted, most notably in the areas of genetic engineering and the biological control of organisms. The greenhouses do not meet federal requirements for containment or use of genetically engineered plants and microorganisms, or for the rearing of exotic biological control agents. The needed renovations will include improving the HVAC and electrical systems and upgrading the environmental control systems. In addition, containment facilities for transgenic plants and exotic biological control agents that meet required specifications, environmental growth chambers, cold rooms and sterilization units will be provided. The renovation project will increase research productivity in all areas, particularly in biotechnology-related science, and provide scientists with an opportunity to enhance the quality and scope of their research base and graduate student training capabilities.

9313532 Dwelle 该奖项将为爱达荷大学温室和总部设施的翻修提供资金，爱达荷大学是该州主要的研究和研究生培训机构。 使用这些设施的院系包括：生物学、细菌学和生物化学以及植物、土壤和昆虫学科学。 尽管这些设施结构健全，但仍存在许多不足之处并阻碍了研究活动的开展，尤其是在基因工程和生物体生物控制领域。 这些温室不符合联邦关于遏制或使用基因工程植物和微生物或培育外来生物防治剂的要求。 所需的改造将包括改进暖通空调和电气系统以及升级环境控制系统。 此外，还将提供符合要求规格的转基因植物和外来生物防治剂的隔离设施、环境生长室、冷藏室和灭菌装置。 该改造项目将提高所有领域的研究生产力，特别是在生物技术相关科学领域，并为科学家提供提高研究基地质量和范围以及研究生培养能力的机会。
