The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded $649,936 to The Trustees of The Smith College on August 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to construct and renovate a Research Support Hub (RSH) at the MacLeish Field Station in Northampton, Massachusetts. The project, scheduled for completion by July 31, 2027, will deliver two primary facilities: a climate-controlled workshop and fabrication space created through renovation of an existing concrete block structure, and a non-heated facility for weather-protected project staging and equipment storage. These facilities will support research operations including assembly of research materials, processing of environmental samples, maintenance of sensitive instrumentation (weather sensors and drones), and storage of heavy field equipment. The RSH infrastructure modernization will enhance the field station's capacity to national standards, thereby advancing research productivity and expanding experiential learning opportunities for students. The project directly supports novel biological research and landscape management activities while improving researcher safety and access to field sites. This award aligns with NSF's biotechnology priority area and reflects the Foundation's commitment to strengthening the Nation's scientific enterprise through enhanced research infrastructure and technical education capabilities.Federal Grant Award Summary
