Physiology Teaching Laboratory Improvement Project

该奖项为南密西西比大学普通、环境、哺乳动物和无脊椎动物生理学课程的高年级本科生提供了改善实验室经验广度的设备资金。这类培训的载体将是团队讲授的必修实验室课程，强调解决问题的实验方法，并以一系列不同的实验室练习、模型和方案为特色。将获得的仪器包括冷藏动物饲养设施、生物氧气监测器、生理记录仪及其附件、火焰光度计、器官/组织浴缸和带有软件的计算机。这些项目将升级现有设施，增强能力(通过允许使用更多的实验模型和研究新现象)，并为计算机模拟生理学的重要方面提供机会，这些方面通常在课堂上直接研究是不切实际的。受赠人匹配来自非联邦来源的奖励。

The award provides funds for equipment to improve the breadth of laboratory experience provided upper division undergraduates enrolled in General, Environmental, Mammalian, and Invertebrate Physiology courses at the University of Southern Mississippi. The vehicle for such training will be a required team taught laboratory course emphasizing experimental approaches to problem solving and featuring a diverse array of laboratory exercises, models and protocols. The instrumentation to be obtained includes refrigerated animal holding facilities, a biological oxygen monitor, physiological recorder with accessories, flame photometer, organ/tissue baths and computer with software. These items will upgrade existing facilities, augment the capabilities (through allowing use of additional experimental models and investigations of new phenomena) and provide opportunities for computer simulation of significant aspects of physiology which are normally impractical to investigate directly in a classroom setting. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.
