A grant has been awarded to The College of Charleston Grice Marine Lab under the direction of Dr. Louis Burnett to provide support for the renovation of one of their older buildings to accommodate new growth and research directions at the Grice Marine Lab. This new facility will accommodate new faculty research laboratories and offices, establish a common instrument room, and provide a laboratory for visiting scientists. The need for these new faculty spaces comes from a new Marine Genomics program that will expand our offerings in the Marine Biology graduate program, in addition to the relocation of some faculty from the downtown campus.Broader ImpactsThe College of Charleston demonstrates the success of their programs with the placement of their graduates. The impacts of these young men and women graduates who enter science careers including marine science will help to promote interest in the field of science for future generations. The research productivity of faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students provides convincing evidence of a vital scientific community. GRICE has an excellent record of summer NSF-REU support for young scientists, and shows good tracking methods of those students that continue on scientific career paths. The GML has a strong history of education (undergrad and graduate), the 'Bridge' program for minorities is especially noteworthy as are outreach programs such as 'student shadowing' and the Ocean Bowl.

在路易斯·伯内特博士的指导下，查尔斯顿格赖斯海洋实验室学院获得了一笔赠款，用于支持改造他们的一座老建筑，以适应格赖斯海洋实验室的新增长和研究方向。这个新设施将容纳新的教师研究实验室和办公室，建立一个共同的仪器室，并为访问科学家提供一个实验室。对这些新的教师空间的需求来自于一个新的海洋基因组学计划，该计划将扩大我们在海洋生物学研究生课程中的产品，除了一些教师从市中心的校园搬迁。更广泛的影响查尔斯顿的学院展示了他们的毕业生的安置他们的计划的成功。这些青年男女毕业生进入包括海洋科学在内的科学职业所产生的影响将有助于提高后代对科学领域的兴趣。教师，研究生和本科生的研究生产力提供了一个重要的科学界令人信服的证据。GRICE在夏季NSF-REU对年轻科学家的支持方面有着出色的记录，并展示了对那些继续走科学职业道路的学生的良好跟踪方法。GML有很强的教育历史（本科生和研究生），为少数民族的“桥梁”计划是特别值得注意的是外展计划，如“学生阴影”和海洋碗。
