项目摘要

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This project is the renovation of a highly used greenhouse research facility at the University of California, Irvine. The renovations will include: replacing earthen floors with concrete for pest control, replacing benches that are presently rotting and corroding, replacing outdated evaporative coolers, improving lighting to allow more research to extend into the winter months, adding a new transformer and electrical wiring, and sub-dividing the greenhouse to provide chambers that can be controlled independently, and accessed directly, without requiring investigator travel through the adjacent research areas in order to avoid cross-contamination of disease and pests. The renovated facility will support a large group of researchers from the School of Biological Sciences, particularly from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, as well as researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences. The greenhouse will be used for research in areas that include evolution, genomics, ecology, ecophysiology, plant-insect interactions and global change biology. The renovation will make it possible to perform manipulative plant experiments under controlled conditions that are beyond what is possible in the current facility.The renovated facility will provide an increased number of opportunities for undergraduates, graduate students and post-doctoral associates to participate in research.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。该项目是对加利福尼亚大学欧文分校的高度使用温室研究机构进行翻新。翻新工程将包括：用混凝土更换泥土地板以控制害虫，更换正在腐烂和腐蚀的长凳，更换目前的蒸发冷却器，改善照明以使更多的研究延长到冬季，以扩展到冬季，并增加一个新的变压器，并通过辅助调查室，不需要直接进行调查，并可以直接访问环境，并可以进行独立的范围，并且可以访问室内，并且可以进行独立的访问，并可以访问室内，并且可以进行独立的访问，并可以访问室内，并且可以访问室内，并且可以进行独立的访问，并可以访问室内，并可以访问室内，并可以访问室内。为了避免疾病和害虫的交叉污染。经过翻新的设施将支持来自生物科学学院的大量研究人员，特别是来自生态和进化生物学系以及地球科学系的研究人员。温室将用于研究，包括进化，基因组学，生态学，生态生理学，植物 - 内部相互作用和全球变化生物学的领域。翻新将使在当前工厂可能超出可能的受控条件下进行操纵植物实验是可能的。装修后的设施将为大学生，研究生和博士后协会提供更多机会参加研究。
