ARFMP: Biochemistry Research Laboratory Renovation

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为太平洋斯托克顿大学提供资金，用于太平洋科学中心的翻新和维修，该中心容纳了该机构在生物化学、生物无机化学和生物分析化学方面的研究和研究活动。这座建筑建于1940年之前，最后一次翻修是在1974年太平洋大学购买了这座建筑。ARFMP赠款21.2万美元和21.2万美元由受资方提供，作为费用分摊，将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将通过重新配置实验室空间，包括四个更高效的实验室，一个计算机仪器室，一个冷室，一个暗室和存储区，并通过升级电气和供暖，通风，和空调（HVAC）系统。该奖项通过为研究提供更好的环境，为培养化学和生物化学领域的高素质本科生和研究生，为科学基础设施做出了贡献。大学预科学生对这些领域的人力资源储备问题至关重要，他们也积极参与太平洋大学的科学研究项目。在这些实验室接受培训的大学生一直在顶尖大学找到职位，并从事研究工作。这个项目将使太平洋大学的研究计划有可能进一步扩大，以便它能够对人力资源管道作出更大的贡献。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to the University of the Pacific-Stockton for the renovation and repair of the Pacific Science Center which houses that institution's research and research activities in biochemistry, bioinorganic chemistry and bioanalytical chemistry. This building was constructed prior to 1940 and last renovated when the University of the Pacific purchased the building in 1974. The ARFMP grant of $212,000 and $212,000 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 by reconfiguring the laboratory space to include four more efficient laboratories, a computer- instrumentation room, a cold room, and a darkroom and storage areas, and by upgrading the electrical and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students for careers in chemistry and biochemistry. Pre-college students, so essential to the issue of the human resources pipeline in these fields, have also enjoyed strong involvement in scientific research projects at the University of the Pacific. University students trained in these laboratories have consistently found positions in top tier universities and have pursued research careers. This project will make it possible for the University of the Pacific's research program to further expand so that it will be able to make even larger contributions to the human resources pipeline.
