ARFMP: Modernization of Microelectronics Research Center Research Facilities

这项由研究设施办公室颁发的学术研究设施现代化计划(ARFMP)奖向爱荷华州立大学提供资金，用于微电子研究中心的翻新和维修，该中心是该机构微电子和光子学研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1962年，目前其供暖、通风和空调系统正在进行更新。由受赠人提供的275,000美元和275,000美元的ARFMP赠款将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将解决在可获得性和安全性方面改善现有研究基础设施的需要。这一翻修将使研究和研究培训活动的范围扩大到迄今无法进入的领域。该奖项通过为开展研究和培养高质量的本科生和研究生提供更好的环境，为科学和工程基础设施做出贡献。翻修不仅将允许研究和研究培训活动的全面扩大，而且还将相对较大地扩大针对各级本科生和女学生的这些活动。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Iowa State University for the renovation and repair of the Microelectronics Research Center which houses that institution's microelectronics and photonics research and research training activities. This building was constructed in 1962 and currently its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is in the process of being updated. The ARFMP grant of $275,000 and $275,000 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure both in terms of accessibility and of safety. This renovation will permit the expansion of the spectrum of research and research training activities into areas which heretofore have been inaccessible. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science and engineering by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students. The renovation will permit not only the overall expansion of research and research training activities, but also relatively greater expansion of those activities for undergraduates and women students at all levels.
