ENHANCING UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES - CASPER COLLEGE

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。这个INBRE子项目的目标是：1)增加卡斯珀学院本科生更好地了解（并最终参与）生物医学研究领域的机会；2)培养对生物医学科学感兴趣的学生，然后在怀俄明大学完成他们的学士学位和/或研究生学位。资金用于加强和发展以生物医学为导向的课程，购买实验室设备和用品，并为8名本科生提供津贴。通过各种实验练习，学生学习生物医学研究中常用的现代技术，并在某些情况下鼓励学生设计和开展独立的研究项目。参加在怀俄明大学校园举行的年度本科生研究日的学生可以获得旅行支持。资金还可用于支持卡斯珀学院参加INBRE项目的教师的专业发展活动。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goals of this INBRE subproject are to: 1) enhance the opportunities for undergraduates at Casper College to better understand (and ultimately participate in) the field of biomedical research; and, 2) develop a pipeline of students with an interest in biomedical science who would then go on to complete their baccalaureate degrees and/or graduate degrees at the University of Wyoming. Funds are used to enhance and develop biomedically oriented courses, the purchase of laboratory equipment and supplies, and stipends for eight undergraduate students. Through a variety of laboratory exercises students learn modern techniques routinely used in biomedical research, and in some cases are encouraged to design and conduct independent research projects. Travel support is available for students to attend the annual Undergraduate Research Day held on the University of Wyoming campus. Funds are also available to support professional development activities for faculty at Casper College that participate in the INBRE program.
