ARFMP: Renovation of Psychological Research Building

这项学术研究设施现代化计划（ARFMP）由研究设施办公室颁发，为埃默里大学提供资金，用于心理学大楼的翻新和维修，从而能够容纳该机构在认知心理学、发展心理学和心理生物学方面的研究和研究培训活动。这座建筑建于1951年，从那时起就没有翻修过。受资助者提供的70万美元和857,595美元的ARFMP赠款将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化，并有助于首次将整个心理学学院整合到一栋大楼中。该项目将解决改善现有研究基础设施的需要，包括在健康和安全方面，以及通过升级管道、供暖、通风和空调（HVAC）和照明来提高研究的数量和质量；通过重新配置空间划分，包括提供隔音和其他功能的房间，使它们适合现代心理学研究。该奖项通过为研究提供更好的环境，以及由杰出的、国家认可的教师培养高质量的本科生和研究生，为科学基础设施做出了贡献。在这些实验室接受训练的学生将能够在进行心理学研究方面保持高标准。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to Emory University for the renovation and repair of the Psychology Building which will as a result be able to house that institution's research and research training activities in cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and psychobiology. This building was constructed in 1951 and has not been renovated since that time. The ARFMP grant of $700,000 and $857,595 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities and contribute to the consolidation of the entire psychology faculty in one building for the first time. This project will address the need to improve the current research infrastructure both in terms of health and safety and of the quantity and quality of research that can be carried out by upgrading the plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and lighting; and by reconfiguring the partitioning of space including the provision of rooms with acoustical insulation and other features that make them suitable for modern research in psychology. 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 by a distinguished, nationally recognized faculty. Students trained in these laboratories will be able to maintain high standards in the conduct of psychological research.
