MBRS Development and Enhancement at CSUN

描述（由申请人提供）：所有的上升导师进行了咨询，以确定目前需要什么设备来帮助实现我们的上升计划的底线目标，即生产谁是精致的学生训练有素的使用国家的最先进的设备，使他们更有竞争力的录取博士学位。程序.所确定的设备需要推进大约一半的上师RISE学生的研究项目，并将用于年度RISE研讨会，其中约20名RISE学生将接受使用培训。此外，该设备将用于大学范围的培训讲习班和拟议的生物分子分离课程，向所有学生开放。所要求的设备包括：（1）用于脉冲场凝胶电泳和场反转凝胶电泳的BioRad Chef Mapper XA Chiller系统，（2）用于高容量细胞收获的Sorvall Superspeed分离器，（3）双BioRad HPLC系统，和（4）用于视觉实验中颜色测量的Ocean Optics全光谱光谱仪。该大学承诺全面维护和修理所要求的仪器。使用仪器的数据将通过同行评审的出版物和演示文稿进行共享（使用所要求设备的主要RISE实验室在过去6年中已发表了17篇完整的同行评审论文）。该设备对RISE计划的影响评估将包括学生/教师用户日志以及使用RISE设备的所有出版物和演示文稿的记录，并要求在所有此类产品中引用RISE支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): All RISE mentors were consulted to determine what equipment is currently needed to help achieve a bottomline goal of our RISE program, namely to produce students who are exquisitely well trained in the use of state-of-the-art equipment, making them more competitive for admission to Ph.D. programs. The equipment identified is required to advance the research projects of about half of the upper division RISE students and will be used in annual RISE workshops, where about 20 RISE students will be trained in its use. In addition the equipment will be used in university-wide training workshops and a proposed biomolecular separations course open to all students. The equipment requested includes: (1) a BioRad Chef Mapper XA Chiller system for pulse field gel electrophoresis and field inversion gel electrophoresis, (2) a Sorvall Superspeed Preparative Centrifuge for high capacity cell harvesting, (3) Dual BioRad HPLC systems, and (4) an Ocean Optics Full Spectrum Spectrometer for measurement of color in vision experiments. The university pledges to fully maintain and repair the requested instruments. Data using the instruments will be shared through peer-reviewed publications and presentations (the primary RISE labs using the requested equipment have published 17 full length peer reviewed papers in the past 6 years). Evaluation of the impact of this equipment on the RISE program will include student/faculty user logs and recording of all publications and presentations using the RISE equipment, with the requirement of citing RISE support in all such products.
