Improvements in Facilities, Communications, and Equipment (FSML)

Description

Biological Field Stations and Marine Laboratories (FSMLs) are off-campus facilities for research and education conducted in the natural habitats of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. FSMLs support biological research and education by preserving and providing access to study areas and organisms, by providing physical plant and equipment in close proximity to those study areas, and by fostering an atmosphere of mutual scientific interest and collaboration in research and education. If FSMLs are to fulfill their role in biological research and education, they must offer modern laboratories and educational spaces, up-to-date equipment, appropriate personal accommodations for visiting scientists and students, and "user-friendly" communication and data management systems for a broad array of users. In recognition of these needs, NSF provides limited support for FSMLs through this program. To this end, proposals are sought which address these general goals of FSML improvement.
