Renovation of Grice Marine Laboratory for Research and Teaching

在Louis Burnett博士的指导下，向查尔斯顿·格雷斯海洋实验室学院提供了一笔赠款，以支持他们的一座旧建筑的翻新，以适应格雷斯海洋实验室的新增长和研究方向。这一新设施将容纳新的教员研究实验室和办公室，建立一个公共仪表室，并为来访的科学家提供一个实验室。对这些新的教职员工空间的需求来自于一个新的海洋基因组学项目，该项目将扩大我们在海洋生物学研究生项目中的服务，此外，一些教师将从市中心的校园搬迁。布罗德影响查尔斯顿学院通过安置他们的毕业生展示了他们项目的成功。这些青年男女毕业生进入包括海洋科学在内的科学职业的影响，将有助于提高子孙后代对科学领域的兴趣。教师、研究生和本科生的研究生产率提供了令人信服的证据，证明了一个重要的科学界。格雷斯在夏季NSF-REU对年轻科学家的支持方面有很好的记录，并展示了对那些继续走上科学职业道路的学生的良好跟踪方法。GML有着深厚的教育历史(本科生和研究生)，特别值得注意的是针对少数族裔的“桥梁”计划，以及“学生跟踪”和“海洋碗”等外展计划。

A grant has been awarded to The College of Charleston Grice Marine Lab under the direction of Dr. Louis Burnett to provide support for the renovation of one of their older buildings to accommodate new growth and research directions at the Grice Marine Lab. This new facility will accommodate new faculty research laboratories and offices, establish a common instrument room, and provide a laboratory for visiting scientists. The need for these new faculty spaces comes from a new Marine Genomics program that will expand our offerings in the Marine Biology graduate program, in addition to the relocation of some faculty from the downtown campus.Broader ImpactsThe College of Charleston demonstrates the success of their programs with the placement of their graduates. The impacts of these young men and women graduates who enter science careers including marine science will help to promote interest in the field of science for future generations. The research productivity of faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students provides convincing evidence of a vital scientific community. GRICE has an excellent record of summer NSF-REU support for young scientists, and shows good tracking methods of those students that continue on scientific career paths. The GML has a strong history of education (undergrad and graduate), the 'Bridge' program for minorities is especially noteworthy as are outreach programs such as 'student shadowing' and the Ocean Bowl.
