Colorado State University is awarded a grant to expand housing at the Shortgrass Steppe (SGS) Field Station with a 5 bedroom house that will increase housing capacity to 30 individuals, located in a small campus adjacent to a new classroom/meeting facility. The new housing, along with the recently constructed classroom building, will increase the number of students and underrepresented groups visiting the site as well as support a growing research program.The Shortgrass Steppe Field Station is located on the Central Plains Experimental Range (CPER) in northeastern Colorado. Experiments have been conducted on the CPER since 1938, and the Field Station has been in existence since the 1960?s. The research conducted at the SGS Field Station is recognized worldwide as one of the most important sources of new ideas and important results in grassland ecology. Research at SGS has also had major implications for land management in the region. The enhancements through this award enable the Shortgrass Steppe Field Station to remain a multi-institutional center of excellence for research, education, and natural resource interpretation for shortgrass steppe ecosystems.

科罗拉多州立大学获得了一笔赠款，可以在Shortgrass Steppe（SGS）野战站扩大住房，并拥有5卧室房屋，该房屋将使住房能力增加到30个人，该房屋位于一个与新的教室/会议设施相邻的小型校园中。新的住房以及最近建造的教室大楼将增加访问该地点的学生和代表性不足的团体的数量，并支持不断增长的研究计划。Shortgrass Steppe野外站位于科罗拉多州东北部的Central Plains实验范围（CPER）。自1938年以来，已经在CPER上进行了实验，自1960年以来，现场站一直存在。在SGS现场站进行的研究被认为是新思想的最重要来源和草地生态学成果的最重要来源之一。 SGS的研究也对该地区的土地管理产生了重大影响。通过该奖项的增强功能使Shortgrass Steppe Field Station能够成为Shortgrass Steppe生态系统的研究，教育和自然资源解释的多机构卓越中心。
