This award provides partial support for construction of a new, 1400 sq.ft., 4-bedroom housing unit that will increase housing capacity of the University of Wisconsin's Trout Lake Station by 20% and, in addition, provide needed small-group meeting space. The institution is providing additional funding to support the project. Trout Lake Station is located in the Northern Highland Lake District of Wisconsin, where it provides access to a wide variety of aquatic ecosystems and their surrounding landscapes. More than 2500 lakes are within 50km of the station. The station has a long history of aquatic research that continues to the present day. Recent research activity is reflected in 182 peer-reviewed publications and 28 graduate student theses attributed to projects conducted at the station since 2000. These are in addition to more than 800 publications and theses published prior to 2000. In addition to fostering research, the Trout Lake Station is used regularly for field trips by undergraduate and graduate courses from universities throughout the Midwest. Use of the station has grown to a level where housing capacity severely restricts both current activities and development of new research, teaching, and outreach programs. Use of the station has averaged about 9100 user-days/year over the last three years, a record high. The limited overnight housing at the station has begun to prevent the station prevent the station from welcoming visiting scholars, and impeded the ability of supervising faculty members to oversee the work of graduate and undergraduate students spending the summer at the station. Besides hosting research leading to new knowledge of the long-term dynamics of lakes, the impact of exotic species, and the impact of human activities, the station provides opportunities for student training, and outreach to the general public, including community participation in developing scenarios for the future of the Northern Highland Lake District, and presentations to community groups by local and visiting experts.

该合同为建造一个新的1400平方英尺的，4-卧室住房单位，将增加住房容量的威斯康星州的鳟鱼湖站的20%，此外，提供所需的小团体会议空间。该机构正在提供额外资金支持该项目。鳟鱼湖站位于威斯康星州的北方高地湖区，在那里可以进入各种各样的水生生态系统及其周围景观。车站50公里范围内有2500多个湖泊。该站有着悠久的水生研究历史，一直持续到今天。最近的研究活动反映在182同行评议的出版物和28个研究生论文归因于自2000年以来在该站进行的项目。此外，在2000年之前还发表了800多篇出版物和论文。除了促进研究，鳟鱼湖站经常用于实地考察的本科生和研究生课程，从整个中西部的大学。空间站的使用已经发展到一个水平，住房能力严重限制了目前的活动和新的研究，教学和推广计划的发展。在过去三年，该站的使用量平均每年约为9100个使用日，创历史新高。在车站有限的过夜住房已经开始阻止车站阻止车站欢迎访问学者，并阻碍了监督教师的能力，以监督研究生和本科生在车站度过夏天的工作。除了主持研究导致湖泊的长期动态的新知识，外来物种的影响，以及人类活动的影响，该站提供了学生培训的机会，并推广到广大公众，包括社区参与制定方案的未来北方高地湖区，并介绍给当地和访问专家的社区团体。
