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.

该奖项为1400平方英尺的新建筑提供部分支持。这将使威斯康星大学鳟鱼湖站的住房容量增加20%，此外，还提供所需的小组会议空间。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部高地湖区，在那里它提供了各种各样的水生生态系统及其周围景观。距该站50公里以内有2500多个湖泊。该站在水生研究方面有着悠久的历史，一直持续到今天。最近的研究活动反映在182份同行评议的出版物和28篇研究生论文中，这些论文归功于该站自2000年以来开展的项目。这些是2000年之前发表的800多篇出版物和论文的补充。除了促进研究之外，鳟鱼湖站还经常被中西部大学的本科生和研究生课程用于实地考察。空间站的使用已经发展到一个住房容量严重限制当前活动和新研究、教学和推广项目发展的水平。在过去三年中，该站的平均使用量约为9100用户日/年，创历史新高。该站有限的过夜住宿已经开始阻碍该站欢迎访问学者，并阻碍了监督教师监督在该站度过夏季的研究生和本科生工作的能力。除了开展有关湖泊长期动态的新知识、外来物种的影响和人类活动的影响的研究外，该站还为学生提供培训和向公众宣传的机会，包括社区参与制定北部高地湖区未来的情景，以及由当地和访问专家向社区团体进行介绍。
