An Appraisal of Field Station and Marine Laboratory Needs for the Next Decade

Allen-Lohr, s.e.生物野外站组织（OBFS）和国家海洋实验室协会（NAML）将对未来十年野外站和海洋实验室的需求进行评估。野外台站和海洋实验室是环境研究和培训的重要场所。这些设施代表了公共和私人机构的一项庞大和持续的投资，但通常缺乏对新的研究需求作出迅速反应的设备。正在进行的项目是实地站，海洋实验室往往设施和设备不足。对现有设施和未来需要的客观评估和分析将使实地台站和海洋实验室受益匪浅，从而更好地促进新出现的国家研究议程。本项目将通过对所有外地站和海洋实验室的需要进行分析来支持这项评估，并将在一份已发表的报告中提出建议。最终的文件应用于指导潜在的资金来源、管理人员和其他在做出决定时监督野外站和海洋实验室设施的人员。

9503675 Allen-Lohr, S. E. The Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) and the National Association of Marine Laboratories (NAML) will conduct an appraisal of field station and marine laboratory needs for the next decade. Field stations and marine laboratories are important sites for environmental research and training. These facilities represent a large and continuing investment by both public and private institutions, but are generally under equipped to respond rapidly to new research needs. Ongoing projects are field stations and marine laboratories often suffer from inadequate facilities and equipment. Field Stations and marine laboratories would benefit greatly by an objective assessment and analysis of current facilities and future needs, to better facilitate emerging national research agendas. This project will underwrite that assessment by conducting an analysis of the needs of all field stations and marine laboratories and will provide recommendations in a published report. The resulting document should serve to guide potential funding sources, administrators, and others who have oversight of field station and marine laboratory facilities as they make decisions.
