DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research programs at The TJL grow dramatically as the national importance of the Laboratory's research and resources increases. However, TJL's ability to grow further and contribute even more to the national scientific endeavor is limited by lack of laboratory and animal space. Research laboratories are 100 percent occupied and the Research Animal Facility (RAF) is at capacity. Yet recruitment is ongoing, particularly the search for a new Director of TJL. Laboratory and animal space must be available to recruit a scientist of the required stature. The Board of Governing Trustees recently approved a $60 million research facility expansion, the East Research Building (ERB) that will encompass laboratory and animal space. However, plans and funds for this expansion are preliminary, and it cannot meet the immediate demand. The proposed project will both alleviate the current space constraints and advance TJL's long-term expansion plans. Funds are requested to outfit shell space in the existing RAF to create two animal rooms that will be used by TJL's reproductive and developmental biology group, who will benefit from direct access to the imaging facilities and Pathology Laboratory in the Wing. A large laboratory and new personnel entry locks to the RAF will be fitted out in newly constructed shell space that is positioned to connect the existing research laboratory wings and RAF with the planned ERB. The project will also upgrade the RAF, through more effective separation of clean and dirty corridors and more efficient zoning of animal maintenance and research functions.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着实验室研究和资源的国家重要性的增加，TJL的研究项目急剧增长。 然而，由于缺乏实验室和动物空间，TJL进一步发展并为国家科学奋进做出更多贡献的能力受到限制。 研究实验室100%被占用，研究动物设施（RAF）也已满负荷运转。 然而，征聘工作仍在进行，特别是寻找TJL的新主任。 实验室和动物空间必须可用于招募所需身高的科学家。 董事会最近批准了一项6000万美元的研究设施扩建项目，即东研究大楼（ERB），该大楼将包括实验室和动物空间。 然而，这一扩张的计划和资金都是初步的，不能满足眼前的需求。 拟议的项目将缓解目前的空间限制，并推进TJL的长期扩张计划。 要求提供资金，在现有的英国皇家空军的外壳空间，以创建两个动物室，将用于TJL的生殖和发育生物学组，谁将受益于直接访问成像设施和病理实验室在翼。 一个大型实验室和新的人员进入锁的英国皇家空军将配备在新建的外壳空间，定位连接现有的研究实验室机翼和英国皇家空军与计划的ERB。 该项目还将通过更有效地分离清洁和肮脏的走廊以及更有效地划分动物饲养和研究功能来升级RAF。
