Researcher and Student Housing at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory

摘要提案#0224092，“研究人员和学生住房在落基山生物实验室一笔赠款已被授予落基山生物实验室（RMBL），根据博士的指导。RMBL是一个生物野外考察站，成立于1928年，旨在促进生物科学的研究和教育。RMBL与任何大学都没有关系，来自美国各地众多机构的科学家访问RMBL进行研究和授课。由于学生和研究人员来自世界各地，RMBL提供住宿的小屋现场。这些小木屋中的许多是由19世纪80年代的矿工或20世纪30年代初的生物学家建造的。这笔拨款将使RMBL能够为科学家提供安全、清洁的生活设施，以便他们开展工作，并为学生上课。这笔拨款将用于建造三个小屋，一个非烹饪小屋和两个烹饪小屋。非烹饪舱将容纳六名学生在一个两层楼的建筑。每个学生将有一个专用的卧室，将有一个共享的生活区。机舱将是基本的木结构与气体加热。两个烹饪舱将分别容纳一个研究人员家庭或四名研究生。楼上有两间卧室，楼下有烹饪和生活区。RMBL一直是生物研究和培训的重要中心。RMBL的科学家在同行评审的期刊上发表了大约1000篇论文。除了在实验室进行的蝴蝶生理学、溪流生态学和土拨鼠行为等不同领域的基础研究外，RMBL的科学还被用于塑造《清洁空气法》的修订，并记录了气候变化将如何影响山地生态系统。在该实验室接受培训或工作的科学家在确定人类人口增长问题以及建立保护和恢复生物学的学术学科方面具有影响力，为真实的世界问题提供解决方案。通过提供资金来翻新住房，国家科学基金会将帮助确保RMBL的科学家能够继续为政策制定者提供有关环境决策所需的信息。

Abstract for Proposal #0224092, "Researcher and student housing at the Rocky Mountain BiologicalLaboratoryA grant has been awarded to Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL), under the directionof Dr. Ian Billick, to build researcher and student housing at the RMBL. The RMBL is a biological fieldstation that was established in 1928 to promote research and education in the biological sciences.Unaffiliated with any university, scientists from numerous institutions throughout the United States visitthe RMBL to conduct research and teach classes. Because students and researchers come from around theworld, the RMBL provides housing in cabins onsite. Many of these cabins were constructed by miners inthe 1880s or biologists in the early 1930s. This grant will allow the RMBL to provide safe, clean livingfacilities in order for scientists to conduct their work and for students to take classes.This grant will pay for the construction of three cabins, one noncooking cabin and two cookingcabins. The noncooking cabin will house six students in a two-story building. Each student will have aprivate bedroom and there will be a shared living area. The cabin will be of basic wood construction withgas heating. The two cooking cabins will each house either a researcher family or four graduate students.There will be two bedrooms upstairs with a cooking and living area downstairs.The RMBL has been an important center for biological research and training. Scientists at theRMBL have published approximately 1000 papers in peer reviewed journals. In addition to basic researchconducted at the Lab on diverse areas such as butterfly physiology, stream ecology, and marmot behavior,science at the RMBL has been used to shape the revision of the Clean Air Act and has documented howclimate change will affect montane ecosystems. Scientists who have trained or worked at the Lab havebeen influential in identifying the problem of human population growth as well as founding the academicdisciplines of Conservation and Restoration Biology to provide solutions to real world problems. Byproviding funding to renovate housing, the National Science Foundation will help ensure that scientists atthe RMBL can continue to provide information policy makers need in making decisions concerning theenvironment.
