Developing and Improving Institutional Animal Resources at Rosalind Franklin Un.

描述（由申请人提供）：提交此修订后的G20申请，以加强罗莎琳德富兰克林医学与科学大学（RFUMS）的生物资源基金（BRF）。理事会在2002-2003年度为扶轮基金会招募了一位新的社长。作为新一届政府的目标之一，决定加强皇家科学院的研究活动，使其在全国范围内得到突出。为达致这个目标，香港大学已投资约4,000万元，以提升大学的研究基础设施。自2002年以来，这导致我们教师的外部研究经费增加了六倍。这在一定程度上是通过招募新的基础科学主席和他们随后为皇家基金委招聘额外的新教师来实现的。由于这些成就；需要进一步扩大和改善大学的研究基础设施。为实现这一目标，当前二十国集团的建议侧重于我们的“一带一路”倡议，是“一带一路”五阶段扩大和加强计划的第三阶段。该项目是专门设计的：1)将BRF的能力提高一倍，以容纳新招募的教员；2)通过改进我们设施的设计和仪器，改善对我们研究人员的服务。考虑到这一点，当前G20申请的具体目标侧重于我们扩大和加强计划的第三阶段。第三阶段包括更换一台28年的笼架洗衣机，并安装所需的暖通空调、管道工作和照明系统，以支持这次升级。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised G20 application is submitted to enhance the Biological Resources Facility (BRF) of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFUMS). The Board of Trustees recruited a new President to RFUMS in 2002-2003. As one of the new administration's goals, it was determined that the research activities of RFUMS would be enhanced and brought to national prominence. To achieve this aim, approximately $40 million has been invested in elevating the research infrastructure of the university. Since 2002, this has resulted in an increase by a factor of six, the external research funding of our faculty. This has in part been achieved, by the recruitment of new basic science Chairs and their subsequent recruitment of additional new faculty to RFUMS. As a result of these achievements; further expansion and improvement of the university's research infrastructure is needed. To achieve this goal, the current G20 proposal focuses on our BRF initiative and represents Phase Three of a Five Phase Expansion and Enhancement Program for the BRF. The Program is specifically designed 1) to double the capacity of the BRF to accommodate the additional faculty being recruited, and 2) to improve the services to our investigators by enhancing the design and instrumentation of our facility. With this in mind, the Specific Aim of the current G20 application focuses on Phase Three of our Expansion and Enhancement Program. Phase Three involves the Replacement of a 28-year-old cage rack washer and installation of required HVAC, duct work, and lighting systems to support this upgrade.
