The Florida State University is awarded a grant to develop a strategic plan for upgrading and expanding its facilities. This plan is warranted by the increased use supporting the new mission and the condition of the aging facilities. In January 2006, it expanded its mission to that of a programmatically-based institution for integrated research, education, and outreach within the coastal and marine ecosystems of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. This new direction is strongly supported by the FSU administration, as made evident by its financial support of recent facilities improvements and the addition of two resident faculty and two postdoctoral associates, with one more faculty member and postdoctoral associate arriving in June.Plan development will occur in four phases: (1) site analysis and initial data gathering, (2) needs assessment consisting of site visits to three comparable laboratories and a stakeholders workshop, (3) design and development, and (4) cost estimates and phasing.Broader Impacts: Although the facility is already serving the needs of scientists, students (high school to graduate school) teachers and the general public from Florida State as well as other Colleges and Universities around the country, expansion of the lab will clearly advance this discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning at the center. The planning project involves consulting with and getting input from various current and potential users of the facility.

佛罗里达州立大学获得了一笔赠款，用于制定升级和扩建设施的战略计划。这一计划是有根据的，因为增加了对新特派团的支持和老化设施的状况。2006年1月，它将其使命扩大到一个以方案为基础的机构，在墨西哥湾东北部的沿海和海洋生态系统内进行综合研究、教育和推广。这一新方向得到了佛罗里达州立大学管理部门的大力支持，其财政支持最近的设施改善和增加了两名常驻教员和两名博士后助理，还有一名教员和博士后助理将于6月抵达。计划的制定将分四个阶段进行：(1)现场分析和初步数据收集，(2)需求评估，包括对三个可比较的实验室和一个利益相关者研讨会的实地访问，(3)设计和开发，以及(4)成本估计和分阶段。广泛影响：尽管该设施已经满足了科学家的需求，来自佛罗里达州立大学和全国其他学院和大学的学生(从高中到研究生院)、教师和普通公众，扩大实验室将明显促进这一发现和理解，同时促进中心的教学、培训和学习。规划项目涉及与该设施的各种现有和潜在用户进行协商，并从他们那里获得意见。规划项目涉及与该设施的各种现有和潜在用户进行协商，并从他们那里获得意见。
