EXTRAMURAL RESEARCH FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION

描述(由申请人提供)： 调查人员要求1,147,298美元才能完成19,954平方米。英国《金融时报》WMU新CHHS大楼的研究实验室和办公空间。WMU和国家已经为这个项目指定了75%的匹配资金。这些教师致力于卓越的研究，培养未来一代的生物医学和相关健康学者，并提供一支具有科学能力的生物医学劳动力队伍，以满足密歇根州卡拉马祖和密歇根州西南部农村地区的医疗保健和康复需求。该学院目前分布在三个校区，位于1939年至1969年间建造的7栋建筑中，用于非研究用途。19.5万平方英尺。英国《金融时报》建筑将通过提供更新的设施来促进研究。这将促进学术互动，激发更大的生产力和合作。申请的资金将用于完成第四层，这里将容纳感觉、运动和通信科学方面的研究和研究培训。在本会议上开展的研究旨在实现2010年健康人目标，即提高生活质量和增加包括残疾人在内的所有人享有健康未来的公平机会。这些项目得到了美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)R01奖1,927,867美元的支持，以及2,595,274美元的额外奖励。这些设施将取代不足的研究空间(在盲目康复的情况下，不存在研究空间)。研究人员记录了现有设施如何限制他们的研究努力，以及所要求的设施将如何提高他们研究成果的质量和数量。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The investigators request $1,147,298 to complete 19,954 sq. ft. of research laboratory and office space in WMU's new CHHS building. The WMU and the State have dedicated 75 percent of matching funds for this project. The faculty are committed to excellence in research, training future generations of biomedical and allied health scholars, and providing a scientifically competent biomedical workforce to serve the health care and rehabilitation needs of Kalamazoo, MI and the rural areas of southwest Michigan. The college currently is scattered across three campuses and housed in seven buildings constructed between 1939 and 1969 for non-research uses. The 195,000 sq. ft. building will advance research by providing updated facilities. This will facilitate scholarly interactions, sparking greater productivity and collaboration. The requested funds will be used to complete the fourth floor, which will house research and research training in sensory, motor, and communication sciences. Research conducted on this floor is aimed at meeting the Healthy People 2010 goals of improving quality of life and increasing equitable access to healthy futures for all, including people with disabilities. The projects are supported by $1,927,867 in National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 awards along with $2,595,274 in additional awards. The facilities will replace inadequate research spaces (in the case of blind rehabilitation, no research space exists). The researchers have documented how current facilities limit their research efforts, and how the quality and quantity of their research output will be enhanced by the requested facilities.
