ARFMP: Repair and Modernization of Research and Research Training Space in Cal State L.A. Biological Sciences Building

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)奖为加州州立大学洛杉矶分校提供资金，用于翻新和维修生物科学大楼，该大楼是该机构生物和微生物学研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1958年，此后一直没有翻修过。受赠人提供的750,000美元和1,032,000美元的ARFMP赠款作为费用分摊，将用于使这些研究和研究培训设施现代化。该项目将解决在健康和安全以及研究的质量、数量和多样性方面改善现有研究基础设施的需要，这些研究可以通过重新设计一些单独实验室的工作空间，并通过使电力和供暖、通风和空调(HVAC)系统达到标准来进行。该奖项为科学基础设施提供了一个更好的环境，以便在一个对招收和教育代表不足的少数群体作出特别承诺并取得成功记录的机构中开展研究和培训主要是本科生。所支持的现代化将大大增加这类少数民族的人数，他们可以接受研究培训，并接触到生物科学的现代科学方法和技术。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office provides funds to California State University Los Angeles for the renovation and repair of the Biological Sciences Building which houses that institution's biological and microbiological research and research training activities. This building was constructed in 1958 and has not been renovated since that time. The ARFMP grant of $750,000 and $1,032,000 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 health and safety and of the quality, quantity, and diversity of research that can be undertaken by redesigning the work space in a number of individual laboratories and by bringing the power and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems up to standard. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of primarily undergraduate students in an institution with a particular commitment to and a successful record of recruiting and educating underrepresented minorities. The modernization supported will significantly increase the numbers of such ethnic minorities who may receive research training and be exposed to modern scientific methods and techniques in the biological sciences.
