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. Funds are used to provide the Casper College/ University of Wyoming INBRE (formerly BRIN) Undergraduate Fellowship Program. The program provides financial support for stipends, equipment, supplies, and travel for students and Casper College (CC) and University of Wyoming/Casper College (UW/CC) faculty engaged in biomedically related research. Interested students apply to the CC Biology Department that selects fellows based on academic achievement, letters of recommendation, and potential for future academic and professional success in biomedical fields. Opportunities in Casper provide students with laboratory experience. Students work on one of two projects incorporating techniques and concepts commonly used in biomedical investigations including; microbial identification, DNA fingerprinting, PCR, electrophoresis, protein expression, microscopy, data analysis, diagnostic parasitology, taxonomy and molecular systematics, and disease ecology/epidemiology. During the reporting period we continued the INBRE fellowship program initiated under the original BRIN Community College Grant Program. In addition to supporting fellows we also provide laboratory training, equipment and supplies to support independent study projects for academic credit by students not on fellowships. Students excelling in for credit studies are encouraged to seek fellowship support. For this reporting period we had 4 students supported by fellowships that worked in the laboratories of Drs. Seville and Chase. During 07-08 an additional four undergraduate and 3 graduate students received training and conducting research using INBRE equipment and supplies. INBRE equipment and supplies were also used by Chase and Motriuk-Smith to work with local high school faculty to conduct lessons on DNA fingerprinting and microbial ecology of hydrothermal springs.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 资金用于提供卡斯珀学院/怀俄明大学的Inbre（以前是Brin）本科奖学金计划。 该计划为学生和怀俄明大学/卡斯珀学院（UW/CC）的津贴，设备，用品和旅行提供财政支持，从事生物医学相关的研究。有兴趣的学生向CC生物学系申请，该部门根据学术成就，推荐信以及生物医学领域的未来学术和职业成功的潜力选择研究员。 卡斯珀的机会为学生提供了实验室的经验。学生从事两个项目之一，其中包含在生物医学研究中常用的技术和概念，包括：微生物鉴定，DNA指纹，PCR，电泳，蛋白质表达，显微镜，数据分析，诊断寄生虫学，分类学和分子系统学以及疾病生态学/流行病学。在报告期间，我们继续根据原始的Brin社区学院赠款计划启动了Inbre奖学金计划。除了支持研究员外，我们还提供实验室培训，设备和用品，以支持不参加奖学金的学生为学分的独立学习项目。鼓励参加信用研究的学生寻求奖学金支持。在此报告期间，我们有4名学生在Drs实验室工作的奖学金支持。塞维利亚和蔡斯。在07-08期间，另外四名本科生和3名研究生接受了使用Inbre设备和用品进行培训和进行研究。 Chase和Motriuk-Smith还使用了Inbre设备和供应与当地的高中教师合作，以进行DNA指纹和水热泉的微生物生态学课程。
