Acquisition of Neurobiology Equipment to Characterize the Physiological Responses and Anatomical Pathways Involved in the Generation of a Fever by Hypothalamic Thermoregulatory...

格里芬圣心大学是一所独立的文理学院，有3500名本科生和1500名研究生。学校不提供博士学位课程。该提案要求94,500美元购买设备，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。所需的设备包括计算机、信号放大器、示波器、数据记录仪、显微切片仪等。直到最近，大学才为本科生提供很少的研究机会。目前有一个高水平的承诺来改善这些机会，如新的生物和化学实验室的建设和翻新，新的科学教师，以及可观的匹配资金。本建议的目标之一是提高对优秀本科生的招聘和留住，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. ***
