The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is a consortium of 46 U.S. and 6 Costa Rican organizations that operates several field stations in the tropical forests of Costa Rica. The PI, Executive Director of OTS, proposes to acquire additional basic laboratory equipment for the La Selva Field Station and the recently established facility at Las Cruces. In addition, Dr. Stone has planned the construction of family housing for visiting scientists at Las Cruces (one duplex housing unit) and La Selva (two duplex units). The proposed housing construction will greatly expand the number of investigators who can initiate research at the Stations, and will accommodate younger scientists with small children as well as investigators with physical disabilities. More basic research equipment will allow the use of the Station by students and researchers to continue to expand. Continued growth and improvement in OTS is critical to the involvement of U.S. scientists and policy makers in tropical regions.

热带研究组织（OTS）是由46个美国和6个哥斯达黎加组织组成的财团，这些组织在哥斯达黎加的热带森林中经营多个野外车站。 OTS执行董事PI建议为La Selva野战站和最近在Las Cruces建立的设施购买其他基本实验室设备。 此外，Stone博士计划在Las Cruces（一个双工住房单元）和La Selva（两个双链单元）的科学家进行家庭住房建设。 拟议的住房建设将大大扩大可以在车站发起研究的调查人员的数量，并将为年轻的科学家带有小孩以及身体残疾的调查人员。 更多的基础研究设备将允许学生和研究人员使用该站继续扩展。 OT的持续增长和改善对于热带地区的美国科学家和政策制定者的参与至关重要。
