ENHANCING UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES -LARAMIE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 怀俄明州夏延市拉勒米县社区学院(LCCC)加入怀俄明州INBRE网络。这是LCCC第一年成为怀俄明州INBRE网络的一部分。最终，该计划将为从事生物医学相关研究的学生和LCCC教职员工提供津贴、设备、用品和旅行方面的资金支持。然而，在第一年，重点是招收学生，并通过工作项目为学生提供获得实验室经验的机会，这些项目结合了现代技术，如DNA/蛋白质凝胶电泳、聚合酶链式反应、显微镜、生物信息学、层析、蛋白质的纯化和表征以及适当的数据分析。我们的目标是除了通过怀俄明大学INBRE社区学院本科生奖学金为外展活动提供学生援助外，还为学生和教职员工提供研究机会。总体目的是提高学生对具有科学和技术技能的人的就业机会的认识，特别是在生物医学领域。

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. Laramie County Community College (LCCC), Cheyenne, WY participates in the Wyoming INBRE Network. This is the first year that LCCC has been a part of the Wyoming INBRE Network. Eventually, the program will provide financial support for stipends, equipment, supplies, and travel for students and LCCC faculty engaged in biomedically-related research. However, during this first year, emphasis has been given to student recruitment and provision of opportunities for students to gain laboratory experience by working projects which incorporate modern techniques such as DNA/protein gel electrophoresis, PCR, microscopy, bioinformatics, chromatography, purification and characterization of proteins and proper data analysis. Our goal is to provide research opportunities for students and faculty, in addition to providing student assistance for outreach activities through the INBRE Community College Undergraduate Fellowships at the University of Wyoming. The overall intent is to increase student awareness of career opportunities for those with science and technology skills, especially in the field of biomedical science.
