This award provides partial support for improvements in the electrical systems and communications infrastructure at The Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, an independent, non-profit oceanographic institution and marine laboratory. The improvements include installation of fiber optic cabling that will provide high-speed digital connections between the administration building and the five outlying buildings at the Laboratory's site on McKown Point. Currently, a majority of the research staff does not benefit from the speed of the laboratory's T1 connection due to the lack of fiber-optic connections between the various outbuildings and the hub in the administration building. The integrity of the Laboratory's power system will be protected from power outages by the addition of a new 100kW auxiliary power generator that will augment limited back-up power currently provided by an existing 37kW generator. This addition will provide a reliable supply of electricity needed to maintain instrumentation, computers and large numbers of sensitive living, refrigerated and frozen materials stored at the Laboratory. Major activities that will benefit from both improvements include the Provasoli-Guillard National Center for the Culture of Marine Phytoplankton, an NSF-supported collection of marine algae, and the J.J. MacIsaac Facility for Flow and Imaging Cytometry, which serves users at other institutions as well as those at The Bigelow Laboratory. The improvements in communications is also expected to facilitate educational use of the laboratory's facilities, which has increased significantly in recent years.

该合同将为毕格罗海洋科学实验室的电气系统和通信基础设施的改进提供部分支持，该实验室是一个独立的、非营利性的海洋学机构和海洋实验室。这些改进包括安装光纤电缆，在行政大楼和位于McKown Point的实验室站点的五座外围建筑物之间提供高速数字连接。目前，由于各个附属建筑和行政大楼中心之间缺乏光纤连接，大多数研究人员无法从实验室T1连接的速度中受益。本所新增一台100千瓦辅助发电机，以补充现有一台37千瓦发电机所提供的有限备用电力，以保障本所电力系统的完整性，避免出现停电情况。这一新增设施将提供可靠的电力供应，以维持仪器、计算机和储存在实验室的大量敏感的生活、冷藏和冷冻材料。将从这两项改进中受益的主要活动包括Provasoli-Guillard国家海洋浮游植物培养中心，这是一个由nsf支持的海洋藻类收集，以及J.J. MacIsaac流式和成像细胞仪设备，它为其他机构和Bigelow实验室的用户提供服务。通讯方面的改进也预期将促进实验室设施的教育用途，这种用途近年来已大大增加。
