Physiology Teaching Laboratory Improvement Project

该奖项为在南密西西比大学攻读普通、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设备，以提高实验室经验的广度。这种训练的工具将是一门必须的团队讲授的实验课程，强调用实验方法解决问题，并以各种各样的实验练习、模型和协议为特色。所需仪器包括冷藏动物饲养设施、生物氧监测仪、带附件的生理记录仪、火焰光度计、器官/组织浴和装有软件的计算机。这些项目将升级现有设施，增强能力（通过允许使用额外的实验模型和对新现象的调查），并为计算机模拟生理学的重要方面提供机会，这些方面通常无法在课堂环境中直接进行研究。受资助者正在匹配非联邦来源的奖励。

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.
