NEW ENGLAND BRIDGE TO TRAIN EXERCISE SCIENTISTS

描述（改编自申请人摘要）：申请人有 建议扩大大学对少数民族培训的承诺 罗得岛（URI），并加强其与 霍华德大学（HU）通过建立一个桥梁，在博士学位， 康涅狄格大学（UCONN）。 在过去的几年里，胡 一直在派遣学士学位培训的运动科学学生到URI 攻读运动科学硕士学位 大学 波多黎各还将其少数民族运动科学学生送到URI， 学习MS学位。 URI和UCONN已经进入正式的 承诺为少数族裔学员提供赞助。 四个教师 两个机构的科学家将给这些学生一对一的 实验室程序和技术的学徒培训 他们正在进行的资助研究。 这些实验室程序是 与基础生理学的许多领域密切相关，包括：分光光度计 分析，组织制备，电子显微镜程序，其他 生物化学和组织学技术，以及必要的程序， 研究热平衡和环境压力。 获得的技能 在这个培训计划将提供这些学生， 这些经验将使他们能够在更广泛的领域与其他人竞争， 生理学的学科。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from Applicant's Abstract): The applicants have proposed to expand the commitment to minority training at the University of Rhode Island (URI) and to strengthen its ongoing relationship with Howard University (HU) by building a bridge to a doctoral degree at the University of Connecticut (UCONN). Over the last several years, HU has been sending bachelor degree trained Exercise Science students to URI to study for the MS degree in Exercise Science. The University of Puerto Rico also sends its minority Exercise Science students to URI to study for their MS degree. The URI and UCONN have entered into a formal commitment to offer sponsorship to minority trainees. The four faculty scientists of both institutions will give these students one-on-one apprenticeship training in the laboratory procedures and techniques used in their ongoing funded research. These laboratory procedures are germane to many areas of basic physiology and include: spectrophotometric analysis, tissue preparation, electron microscopy procedures, other biochemical and histological techniques, and procedures necessary to study thermal balance and environmental stress. The skills acquired during this training program will provide these students with experiences that will allow them to compete with others in the broader discipline of physiology.
