This award provides funds to the Department of Microbiology at the University of Illinois, Urbana to equip a three-semester biotechnology laboratory series for undergraduates who have had an introductory microbiology laboratory and are interested in learning more advanced modern molecular biology and biochemical techniques. The series would be aimed at students who want to work in industry after graduation or who want to do graduate work in biotechnology and applied microbiology. The series would consist of (i) a course in genetics and biochemistry of industrially important microorganisms, primarily actinomycetes and fungi, (ii) a course in genetics and biochemistry of pathogenic bacteria, and (iii) a course in immunochemistry. These one semester courses could be taken alone or as a series in any order. Although the main goal of these laboratory courses is to teach modern molecular techniques, they are also designed to develop problem solving and quantitative skills, and would give students experience in written and oral presentation of data. Courses in all three areas are currently offered in the department but only the immunochemistry course has fully incorporated state-of-the-art modern techniques. The equipment purchased through this award will allow the current industrial microbiology and pathogenic microbiology courses to be updated. The updated courses will break new ground in biotechnology instruction for undergraduates and should thus serve as prototypes for such courses in other colleges and universities. The grantee is matching this award with non-Federal sources.

该奖项为微生物学系提供资金， 伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校装备三个学期 生物技术实验室系列的本科生谁有一个 介绍微生物学实验室，并有兴趣学习 更先进的现代分子生物学和生物化学技术。 该系列将针对那些想在工业界工作的学生 毕业后或想从事生物技术研究生工作的人 和应用微生物学 该系列将包括：（一）课程 在遗传学和生物化学方面， 微生物，主要是放线菌和真菌，（ii）课程 在致病菌的遗传学和生物化学，和（iii） 免疫化学课程 这些一学期的课程可以是 单独或以任何顺序作为一系列。 虽然主要目标 这些实验室课程之一是教授现代分子 技术，他们也被设计来发展解决问题的能力， 量化技能，并将给学生的书面经验， 口头报告数据。 这三个领域的课程包括： 目前在该部门提供，但只有免疫化学 课程已完全融入了最先进的现代技术。 通过该奖项购买的设备将允许当前 工业微生物学和病原微生物学课程将 更新. 更新后的课程将开辟新的天地， 生物技术教学的本科生，因此应该服务于 作为其他学院和大学此类课程的原型。 受赠者正在将该奖项与非联邦来源相匹配。
