DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks $2 million in matching funds towards the construction of 24,980 sq. ft. of wet bench laboratory space in a new laboratory building for the life sciences on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania (UP). The balance of the cost of this space, which will be assigned to the Department of Biology, will be paid by the UP. The University will also cover the cost of the remainder of the building, which totals 56,752 sq. ft. devoted to additional laboratory space for the University-wide Genomics Institute (GI) as well as supporting facilities housing laboratory animals and plants. The construction of the new laboratory space represents both quantitative and qualitative improvements of the research facilities available to researchers in the Department of Biology, who collectively hold peer-reviewed awards funding of approximately $8.5 million in annual direct costs. The present space occupied by many of these investigators is substandard and will be retired at the conclusion of this project. This building represents the first phase of a two-stage process that, when complete, will provide approximately 100,000 new sq. ft. of space devoted to research and training in the life sciences. When both phases are finished, the combined Life Sciences Building will house about half the faculty of the Department of Biology, and nearly the entire faculty of the Department of Psychology, as well as the GI and the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN), and will make possible new collaborative efforts in critically important fields.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求 200 万美元的配套资金，用于在宾夕法尼亚大学 (UP) 校园的生命科学新实验室大楼中建造 24,980 平方英尺的湿台实验室空间。该空间的剩余费用将分配给生物系，由 UP 支付。该大学还将承担该建筑其余部分的费用，该建筑总面积为 56,752 平方英尺，专门用于为全校基因组研究所 (GI) 提供额外的实验室空间以及容纳实验动物和植物的配套设施。新实验室空间的建设代表了生物系研究人员可使用的研究设施在数量和质量上的改进，这些研究人员总共拥有约 850 万美元的年度直接费用的同行评审奖励资金。目前许多研究人员所占用的空间不符合标准，将在该项目结束时退役。该建筑代表了两阶段流程的第一阶段，完成后将提供约 100,000 平方英尺的新空间，专门用于生命科学研究和培训。当两个阶段完成后，合并后的生命科学大楼将容纳生物系约一半的教职人员、心理学系的几乎全部教职人员以及地理研究所和认知神经科学中心（CCN），并将在至关重要的领域开展新的合作。
