Student laboratory opportunities in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Endocrinology and Physiology are being enhanced, and increased opportunities for undergraduate research and internships are being provided through the purchase of needed instructional instruments. Renovated cell culture and endocrinology laboratory facilities as well as new instrumentation for enzyme-linked immunosorbant assays, cell culture, high pressure liquid chromatography, and spectrophotometry are providing significant links between students' laboratory and field experiences in whole organismal biology at the College's field station and their laboratory experiences in Cell Biology, Physiology, Microbiology and Endocrinology on campus. Increasing student understanding of both the potentials and the limitations of blood screening procedures also is being gained by non- majors through use of the enzyme-linked immunoassay equipment procured under this award. Such socially relevant laboratory experience is an important aspect of education for non-scientists who will be decision makers in a technology-based society.

分子和细胞生物学、内分泌学和生理学的学生实验室机会正在增加，通过购买必要的教学仪器，正在提供更多的本科生研究和实习机会。翻新的细胞培养和内分泌学实验室设施，以及用于酶联免疫吸附分析、细胞培养、高压液相色谱和分光光度分析的新仪器，将学生在学院野外站的整个生物生物学的实验室和现场经验与他们在校园的细胞生物学、生理学、微生物学和内分泌学的实验室经验联系起来。非专业学生也通过使用本奖项下采购的酶联免疫分析设备，提高了学生对血液筛查程序的潜力和局限性的理解。这种与社会相关的实验室经验是非科学家教育的一个重要方面，他们将成为以技术为基础的社会的决策者。
