项目摘要

This award provides support for the improvement of facilities at the University of Guam Marine Laboratory (UOGML). The lab is a research unit that serves the U.S.-affiliated islands of Micronesia, including The Territory of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, The Federated States of Micronesia (Yap, Chuuk, Kosrae, and Pohnpei), the Republic of Belau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The lab is the only U.S. marine research station in the tropical western Pacific that includes a modern research laboratory. Funds provided by the award will permit the improvement of a multi-purpose room used for lectures, meetings and conferences, and various research purposes. Improvements include replacement of research benches and related furnishings, purchase of a new audio/visual system, replacement of aging windows and doors, and purchase of microscopes for general and research-oriented courses, including a microscope system with display features for instructional purposes. Due to its location in the Pacific Islands, the UOGML has an important service component that includes providing data and research services to a broad group of users. These improvements in the lab's infrastructure will enhance both the research capabilities of the Marine Laboratory and its ability to disseminate the results of research to potential users who range from traditional leaders, chiefs' councils and community-based organizations to territorial, state and federal agencies.

该奖项为关岛海洋实验室（UOGML）改善设施的改善提供了支持。该实验室是一个为密克罗尼西亚附近的岛屿提供服务的研究部门，包括关岛领土，北玛丽安娜群岛的联邦，密克罗尼西亚联邦州（Yap，Chuuk，Kosrae和Pohnpei），Belau共和国和共和国共和国和马歇尔群岛。该实验室是热带西太平洋唯一的美国海洋研究站，其中包括现代研究实验室。该奖项提供的资金将允许改善用于讲座，会议和会议以及各种研究目的的多功能室。改进包括更换研究长凳和相关的家具，购买新的音频/视觉系统，更换老化的窗户和门以及为一般和研究导向的课程购买显微镜，包括具有用于教学目的的显示功能的显微镜系统。由于其在太平洋岛屿上的位置，UOGML具有重要的服务组成部分，其中包括向大量用户提供数据和研究服务。实验室基础设施的这些改进将增强海洋实验室的研究能力及其将研究结果传播到潜在用户的能力，这些用户从传统领导者，酋长理事会和基于社区的组织到领土，州和联邦机构。
