Greenhouse Infrastructure Renovation

9313532住宅该奖项将为爱达荷大学的温室和总部设施的翻新提供资金，爱达荷大学是该州主要的研究和研究生培训机构。使用设施的部门包括：生物学，细菌学和生物化学，植物，土壤和昆虫学。虽然这些设施在结构上是健全的，但存在许多不足之处，妨碍了进行的研究活动，最明显的是在遗传工程和生物体的生物控制领域。这些温室不符合联邦关于控制或使用基因工程植物和微生物，或饲养外来生物防治剂的要求。所需的装修将包括改善暖通空调和电气系统，并升级环境控制系统。此外，还将提供符合规定规格的转基因植物和外来生物防治剂的收容设施、环境生长室、冷藏室和灭菌装置。翻新工程将提高所有领域的研究生产力，特别是与生物技术有关的科学，并为科学家提供机会，提高其研究基地的质量和范围，以及培养研究生的能力。

9313532 Dwelle This award will provide funding for the renovation of the greenhouse and headhouse facilities at the University of Idaho, the primary institution for research and graduate training in the state. The departments using the facilities include: Biology, Bacteriology and Biochemistry, and Plant, Soil and Entomological Sciences. Although the facilities are structurally sound, numerous inadequacies exist and impede on the research activities conducted, most notably in the areas of genetic engineering and the biological control of organisms. The greenhouses do not meet federal requirements for containment or use of genetically engineered plants and microorganisms, or for the rearing of exotic biological control agents. The needed renovations will include improving the HVAC and electrical systems and upgrading the environmental control systems. In addition, containment facilities for transgenic plants and exotic biological control agents that meet required specifications, environmental growth chambers, cold rooms and sterilization units will be provided. The renovation project will increase research productivity in all areas, particularly in biotechnology-related science, and provide scientists with an opportunity to enhance the quality and scope of their research base and graduate student training capabilities.
