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 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 6 students supported by fellowships that worked in the laboratories of Drs. Seville, Motriuk-Smith, Chase and Madsen. During 08-09 an additional 4 undergraduate and 3 graduate students received training and conducted research using INBRE equipment and supplies. INBRE equipment and supplies were also used to work with local high school faculty to conduct lessons on DNA fingerprinting and microbial ecology of hydrothermal springs.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 资金用于提供卡斯珀学院/怀俄明大学 INBRE（以前称为 BRIN）本科生奖学金计划。 该计划为从事生物医学相关研究的学生和卡斯珀学院 (CC) 和怀俄明大学/卡斯珀学院 (UW/CC) 教员提供津贴、设备、用品和旅行方面的财政支持。有兴趣的学生可以向 CC 生物系提出申请，该系根据学术成就、推荐信以及未来在生物医学领域取得学术和职业成功的潜力来选择研究员。 卡斯珀的机会为学生提供实验室经验。学生从事的项目结合了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。在报告期内，我们继续在原 BRIN 社区学院资助计划下发起的 INBRE 奖学金计划。除了支持研究员之外，我们还提供实验室培训、设备和用品，以支持非奖学金学生的独立研究项目以获得学分。我们鼓励学分学习成绩优异的学生寻求奖学金支持。在本报告期内，我们有 6 名学生获得奖学金支持，在 Drs. 的实验室工作。塞维利亚、莫特鲁克-史密斯、蔡斯和马德森。 2008-09 年期间，另外 4 名本科生和 3 名研究生使用 INBRE 设备和用品接受了培训并进行了研究。 INBRE 设备和用品还被用来与当地高中教师合作，开设有关 DNA 指纹识别和热泉微生物生态学的课程。
