东北大学海洋科学中心是 唯一一个全年进行研究和教学的海洋站 设施，以及驻地教师和工作人员，位于 科德角以北的新英格兰海岸。 它也是唯一一个 海洋实验室在一个小时的车程内的大多数大学， 大波士顿地区。 地点在波士顿北部 海港，提供优质海水和优良的潮间带 和潮下带生境进行实地研究和生物收集。 海洋科学中心资助的研究包括 在海洋生态学、行为学、神经生物学、 结构生物学、生物化学和分子生物学。 目前，开发新项目和增加新的 驻地和访问调查员受到严重限制， 可用的研究空间。 该奖项将增加研究 通过提供6000平方英尺的部分资金， 除了目前的实验室大楼和两件 急需的设备。 扩建将提供空间 急需资助的项目由驻地教师，其他 来自东北大学的研究人员， 来自波士顿地区其他学术机构的研究人员， 美国其他地区和海外。

The Marine Science Center of Northeastern University is the only marine station with year-round research and teaching facilities, as well as resident faculty and staff, located on the coast of New England north of Cape Cod. It is also the only such marine laboratory within an hour's drive of most universities in the greater Boston area. The location, well north of Boston Harbor, provides high quality seawater and excellent intertidal and subtidal habitats for field study and organism collection. Funded research at the Marine Science Center encompasses a variety of projects in marine ecology, behavior, neurobiology, structural biology, biochemistry and molecular biology. At present, development of new projects and addition of new resident and visiting investigators are severely limited by available research space. This award will increase research space by providing partial funding for a 6000 square foot addition to the present laboratory building and two pieces of badly needed equipment. The expansion will provide space critically needed for funded projects by resident faculty, other investigators from Northeastern University, and visiting researchers from other academic institutions in the Boston area, other parts of the U.S. and overseas.
