This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).A grant has been awarded to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to acquire a laser confocal microscopy system to enhance faculty and student research and research training in the departments of Biological and Environmental Sciences and Chemistry. The equipment enhances and enables new research and teaching activities by faculty members in a wide range of environmental, biological and chemical areas including: microbial ecology, analysis of protein function, embryological development in animals, and systematic entomology. Because microscopy is central to research in many areas, including chemistry, geology, and engineering, the proposed system will promote high quality research and research collaborations beyond the projects. The results of these scientific studies will enhance the lessons taught in our classrooms, and students will gain hands-on experience in advanced microscopy and image analysis. The research studies resulting from the use of the laser confocal microscopy system will be disseminated by poster or oral presentations at regional or national meetings, by publication in peer-reviewed journals, and highlighted within the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's faculty and course related websites.UTC is primarily an undergraduate institution that serves the needs of a diverse group of students in southern Tennessee, northern Georgia, and northern Alabama. UTC's departments of Chemistry and of Biological and Environmental Sciences have a distinguished record for undergraduate education and research, and will be the primary users of the requested equipment.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助的。已向查塔努加的田纳西大学授予一笔赠款，用于购买激光共焦显微镜系统，以加强生物、环境科学和化学系的教职员工和学生的研究和研究培训。该设备增强并支持教师在广泛的环境、生物和化学领域开展新的研究和教学活动，包括：微生物生态学、蛋白质功能分析、动物胚胎发育和系统昆虫学。由于显微镜是许多领域研究的核心，包括化学、地质学和工程学，拟议的系统将促进高质量的研究和项目以外的研究合作。这些科学研究的结果将加强我们课堂上教授的课程，学生们将获得先进显微镜和图像分析的实践经验。使用激光共聚焦显微镜系统产生的研究研究将通过海报或口头报告在地区或全国会议上传播，通过发表在同行评议的期刊上，并在田纳西大学查塔努加的教职员工和课程相关网站上突出显示。UTC主要是一个本科机构，服务于田纳西州南部、佐治亚州北部和阿拉巴马州北部的不同学生群体。UTC的化学系和生物与环境科学系在本科教育和研究方面有着卓越的记录，将是所需设备的主要用户。
