This project will have an immediate impact on our students majoring in biology, enabling the University to develop an undergraduate sophomore/junior/level cell biology course. Advanced microscopy laboratories employing fluorescence microscopes equipped with contrast-enhancing optics, video image acquisition and analysis systems are being developed for cell biology and our courses in immunology, medical microbiology, microbiology, physiology and molecular biology. These new exercises take special advantage of many of the exciting new fluorescent probes available for studying living and fixed cells. These activities will increase the "hands-on" participation of our students in project-oriented laboratories. In many instances students will work on investigative projects designed to employ the advanced features of these microscopes. The results will be a significant revitalization of the biology laboratory curricula. The University is contributing an amount equal to the award.

该项目将对我们的生物学专业学生产生直接影响，使大学能够开发本科二年级/三年级/水平的细胞生物学课程。先进的显微镜实验室采用荧光显微镜配备了对比度增强光学，视频图像采集和分析系统正在开发的细胞生物学和我们的免疫学，医学微生物学，微生物学，生理学和分子生物学课程。这些新的练习特别利用了许多令人兴奋的新荧光探针，可用于研究活细胞和固定细胞。这些活动将增加我们的学生在以项目为导向的实验室的“动手”参与。在许多情况下，学生将从事旨在采用这些显微镜的先进功能的调查项目。其结果将是生物实验室课程的重大振兴。联合国大学提供了与该奖项相等的金额。
