CAYEY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE-BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

凯伊大学学院是一所本科教学机构 研究活动有限。我们已经启动了MBR赠款 计划，以提高生物医学研究的质量和 激发教职工和学生的积极参与 在研究活动中。 该计划的主要目标是：1)专业化发展 我们的教职员工使他们成为具有竞争力的生物医学研究 科学家，2)让本科生接触生物医学研究和 从而激励他们追求研究事业和3)改进 通过培养学生的专业能力来提高课程的整体质量 适当的环境，使研究和教学活动 最好做到这一点。 为了实现拟议的目标，我们正在申请资金用于 购置仪器和技术援助。 要求为下列浓缩活动提供额外资金 将包括嘉宾演讲者研讨会、研讨会和校外研讨会 为学生和教职员工提供值得鼓励的研究经验 他们参与生物医学研究活动或职业。 拟议的研究活动包括两项新的试点研究 还有一个研究项目。第一项试点研究是在 遗传学和发育生物学，其目的是研究 N-酶的个体发育和组织分布 果蝇的乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶。第二项试点研究正在进行中 行为科学的领域和人口问题 鸟类发声学习的后果。研究项目 涉及化学系的两名教职员工和 介绍了手性化合物的制备及应用 有机硅。此外，我们正在请求资金以继续 以前资助的细胞生物学领域的研究项目。

Cayey University College is an undergraduate teaching institution with limited research activities. We have initiated the MBRS Grant Program to improve the quality of the biomedical research and to stimulate the active participation of faculty members and students in research activities. The program has these major goals: 1) to professionally develop our faculty members to make them competitive biomedical research scientists, 2) to expose undergraduates to biomedical research and thereby motivate them to pursue research careers and 3) to improve the overall quality of the academic programs by developing an appropriate setting in which research and teaching activities can best be accomplished. To achieve the proposed goals we are requesting funds for the acquisition of instrumentation and technical assistance. Additional funds are requested for the enrichment activities which will include seminars by guest speakers, workshops, and off-campus research experiences for students and faculty members to encourage their participation in biomedical research activities or careers. The proposed research activities consist of two new pilot studies and a research project. The first pilot study is in the area of genetics and developmental biology and its aim is to study the ontogeny and tissue distribution of the enzyme N- acetylglucosaminidase in Drosophila. The second pilot study is in the ares of behavioral science and deals with population consequences of avian vocal learning. The research project involves two faculty members from the chemistry department and deals with the preparation and applications of chiral organosilicons. In addition, we are requesting funds to continue a previously funded research project in the area of cell biology.
