9724544格里芬圣心大学是一所独立的文科院校，拥有3500名本科生和1500名研究生。 学校不提供博士学位。程序. 该提案要求94 500美元用于购买设备，用于研究下丘脑神经元的生物学及其对化学和环境压力的反应。 所需设备包括计算机、信号放大器、示波器、数据记录器、显微切片机等。 直到最近，该大学几乎没有为本科生提供研究机会。 目前有一个高级别的承诺，以改善这些机会，如新的生物和化学实验室，新的科学教师，并通过可观的匹配资金，这一建议的建设和改造所示。 该建议的目的之一是改善人才的招聘和保留，并提高本科生培养质量。 ***

9724544 Griffin Sacred Heart University is an independent, liberal arts institution with 3500 undergraduate and 1500 graduate students. The school does NOT offer any Ph.D. programs. The proposal requests $94,500 to purchase equipment that will be used to investigate the biology of hypothalamic neurons and their response to chemical and environmental pressures. Among the equipment required are computers, signal amplifiers, oscilloscopes, data recorders, microtomes, etc. Until recently the University has provided little opportunity for undergraduate research. There is a current high level commitment to improve these opportunities as illustrated by the construction and renovation of new biology and chemistry laboratories, new science faculty, and by the appreciable matching funds to this proposal. One goal of this proposal is to improve the recruiting and retention of talented undergraduates, and to improve the quality of the undergraduate training. ***
