ARFMP: Renovation of Research Laboratories in Mellon Institute

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)奖为卡内基梅隆大学提供资金，用于梅隆研究所大楼的翻新和维修，该大楼是化学系的研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1933年，最后一次翻修是在1937年。受赠方提供的1,600,000美元和1,600,000美元的ARFMP赠款将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化。该项目将解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要，方法是升级所有建筑设施和提供足够的通风柜，使这些设施符合目前的健康和安全标准，并与现代研究设备和程序的使用相兼容。翻新后的设施将提高在广泛的重要领域进行的研究的数量和质量，包括聚合物和材料科学、生物化学以及核和理论化学。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一个更好的环境，为科学的基础设施做出贡献。卡内基梅隆大学化学系明确承认，在一个强大的系中，教师研究、研究生研究和教育以及本科生研究培训和教育是一个具有凝聚力的整体，并据此进行，可以为我国科学的未来做出特别重大的贡献。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Carnegie Mellon University for the renovation and repair of the Mellon Institute Building which houses the research and research training activities of the Chemistry Department. This building was constructed in 1933 and last renovated in 1937. The ARFMP grant of $1,600,000 and $1,600,000 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 upgrading all building services and providing adequate fume hoods so that the facilities will meet current health and safety standards and will be compatible with the use of modern research equipment and procedures. The renovated facilities will increase the quantity and quality of research conducted in a wide range of important areas, including polymer and materials sciences, biological chemistry, and nuclear and theoretical chemistry. 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. The Chemistry Department at Carnegie Mellon University explicitly recognizes that faculty research, graduate student research and education, and undergraduate research training and education form a cohesive whole in a strong department and, conducted accordingly, can make a particularly significant contribution to the future of our nation's science.
