ALTERATIONS AND RENOVATIONS SUMMARY Building on prior successes, partner institution Hawaii Pacific University (HPU) requests funds for renovations that will support the goals and objectives of the proposed INBRE V renewal. Prior INBRE grants have supported and inspired the development of the biomedical sciences at HPU. The impacts on the HPU Department of Natural Sciences have been transformational and sustained, and are now culminating in a major expansion of research and instructional lab space that is currently under construction on HPU’s downtown Honolulu campus. With this success, HPU is now looking to expand the scope of its biomedical research by expanding the lab resources for its new Biomedical Engineering program. HPU’s Engineering program, which just graduated it first cohort in Spring 2022, has strong growth potential with plans to hire 2 additional Biomedical Engineering faculty in the coming years. The program currently has access to 3 research labs totaling 700 sq ft at HPU’s Waterfront Plaza facility. Here, HPU proposes to create a new 300 sq ft Biosafety level 2 research lab in space contiguous with the current engineering labs, a 40% increase in lab space. The lab will feature all cleanable finishes, fixed cabinetry, a dedicated hand wash sink, an eye-wash, proper lighting and electrical capacity, and all necessary mechanical and HVAC modifications. Existing equipment to equip the lab includes a top-load autoclave, a 4 ft biological safety cabinet, and a -80 °C freezer. The facility will be managed jointly by the INBRE-funded Shared Instrumentation Facility and the engineering faculty users. This lab will provide an essential expansion of laboratory space for the Biomedical Engineering program and provide additional space for HPU’s Student Research Experiences (SRE) activities. In light of HPU’s hiring plans, this new lab will enhance HPU’s ability to attract high quality biomedical engineering faculty and increase the opportunities for undergraduate biomedical research. The renovation will add capacity that will also help cultivate new SRE mentors as well as potentially attract a future INBRE Junior Investigator. The expansion of research resources at HPU in bioengineering will also foster collaborations within HPU and with other INBRE partner institutions. The aim of this proposal is: Specific Aim: Create a 300 sq ft Biosafety Level 2 laboratory to support undergraduate research in the HPU Biomedical Engineering program.

改建和翻修摘要 在先前成功的基础上，合作机构夏威夷太平洋大学（HPU）申请资金进行翻修 这将支持拟议的INBRE V更新的目标和目的。INBRE先前的赠款支持了 并启发了HPU生物医学科学的发展。对HPU部门的影响 自然科学一直是变革性的和持续的，现在正以一个重大的扩张而达到高潮。 研究和教学实验室空间，目前正在建设中的HPU的市中心檀香山校园。 有了这一成功，HPU现在正在寻求通过扩大实验室来扩大其生物医学研究的范围 为新的生物医学工程项目提供资源。HPU的工程项目，刚刚毕业， 2022年春季的队列，具有强大的增长潜力，计划再雇用2名生物医学工程教师 在未来几年。该计划目前可以使用HPU海滨的3个研究实验室，总面积为700平方英尺 广场设施。在这里，HPU建议在空间连续的地方创建一个新的300平方英尺的生物安全2级研究实验室 与目前的工程实验室相比，实验室空间增加了40%。实验室将采用所有可清洁的饰面，固定 橱柜，专用洗手池，洗眼器，适当的照明和电力容量，以及所有必要的 机械和HVAC改造。现有的设备，以装备实验室包括一个顶负荷高压灭菌器，一个4英尺 生物安全柜和-80 °C冰箱。该设施将由INBRE-Funded Shared 仪器设备和工程学院的用户。本实验室将提供一个必要的扩展， 生物医学工程项目的实验室空间，并为HPU的学生提供额外的空间 研究经验（SRE）活动。根据HPU的招聘计划，这个新实验室将提高HPU的能力， 吸引高素质的生物医学工程教师，增加本科生生物医学的机会 research.改造将增加能力，这也将有助于培养新的SRE导师，以及潜在的 吸引未来的INBRE初级研究员。HPU在生物工程方面的研究资源的扩展将 还促进HPU内部以及与INBRE其他伙伴机构的合作。这项建议的目的是： 具体目标：创建一个300平方英尺的生物安全2级实验室，以支持HPU的本科生研究 生物医学工程专业。
