CAYEY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE-BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM

卡伊大学学院是一所本科教学机构 有限的研究活动。 我们已经启动了MBRS赠款 提高生物医学研究质量的计划， 激发师生的积极参与 在研究活动中。 该计划有这些主要目标：1）专业发展 我们的教师使他们成为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， 从而激励他们追求研究事业和3）提高 学术课程的整体质量，通过开发一个 研究和教学活动的适当环境， 最好完成。 为了实现拟议的目标，我们要求提供资金， 购置仪器和技术援助。 要求为浓缩活动提供额外资金， 将包括客座演讲者，研讨会和校外研讨会 学生和教师的研究经验，以鼓励 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 和一个研究项目。 第一项试点研究是在 遗传学和发育生物学，目的是研究 酶N-的个体发育和组织分布 果蝇中的乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶。 第二项试验研究是在 行为科学的战神， 鸟类发声学习的后果 该研究项目 涉及两名来自化学系的教员， 介绍了手性药物的制备及应用 有机硅 此外，我们还要求提供资金， 这是一个以前资助的细胞生物学研究项目。

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.
