View Award Description

University of Mississippi Medical Center, MS for facilities and equipment to renovate and upgrade research lab - The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) proposes to renovate and modernize an outdated and underutilized vivarium facility to expand capacity and strengthen biomedical research infrastructure. The project will redevelop approximately 14,500 square feet on the eighth floor of an existing research building into a state of the art research environment. Planned improvements include procedure and laboratory spaces, an imaging suite, and specialized containment areas to support a wide range of studies, including cancer, cardiovascular, neurological, and infectious diseases. UMMC’s Center for Comparative Research is currently operating near full capacity due to sustained growth in research programs and recruitment of new investigators. The institution is making a major investment in cancer research, including recruiting approximately 30 new research faculty. The existing space cannot reliably support modern research needs due to aging infrastructure and outdated environmental systems. This renovation will address these limitations by installing new heating, ventilation, plumbing, and safety systems that meet current standards for animal care, biosafety, and research quality. By increasing capacity and providing advanced research environments, the project will enable expansion of critical research programs, including those focused on cancer, and ensure long-term sustainability of research operations at UMMC. The upgraded facility will support ongoing and future studies aimed at understanding disease and developing new treatments, ultimately benefiting public health.
