The high-speed centrifuge, chromatography refrigerator, fraction collector and support equipment acquired in part through this grant are being used to strengthen upper-division laboratory courses in Biochemistry and Cellular Biology for students who are predominantly female, American Indian, and older than the traditional undergraduate. During the past year, this relatively new independent institution has received accreditation and instituted a four-year curriculum in Science and Mathematics. Funds were obtained from Federal and corporate sources to implement the basic curriculum. The goal of the current project is to develop and enhance capabilities for giving students needed laboratory experiences in upper-level courses in such areas as protein purification and characterization, and the investigation of cellular components. The new instruments are essential components of technical skill training in Biochemistry and Cellular Biology in that they support approximately one third of the experiments in these laboratory courses. This instrumentation also is being used to support experiments in other upper- and lower-division courses in the Science curriculum. The program is designed to meet the needs of students who, despite limitations in their precollegiate science training, are seeking an education that will adequately prepare them for successful careers in technology, teaching or nursing.

高速离心机、色谱制冷机、馏分收集器和辅助设备部分是通过这笔拨款获得的，用于加强高年级生物化学和细胞生物学的实验课程，学生主要是女性、美洲印第安人，年龄大于传统的本科生。在过去的一年里，这个相对较新的独立机构获得了认证，并设立了四年的科学和数学课程。从联邦和公司获得的资金用于实施基本课程。当前项目的目标是发展和增强能力，使学生在诸如蛋白质纯化和表征以及细胞成分研究等高级课程中获得所需的实验室经验。这些新仪器是生物化学和细胞生物学技术技能培训的重要组成部分，因为它们支持这些实验课程中大约三分之一的实验。该仪器也被用于支持科学课程中其他高年级和低年级课程的实验。该计划旨在满足学生的需求，尽管他们在大学前的科学训练有局限性，但他们正在寻求一种能够为他们在技术，教学或护理方面的成功职业做好充分准备的教育。
