MBRS Development and Enhancement at CSUN

描述（由申请人提供）：我们咨询了RISE的所有导师，以确定目前需要哪些设备来帮助实现RISE项目的底线目标，即培养在使用最先进设备方面训练有素的学生，使他们在进入博士项目时更具竞争力。所确定的设备是推动大约一半的高级RISE学生的研究项目所必需的，并将用于每年的RISE讲习班，其中约20名RISE学生将接受使用这些设备的培训。此外，该设备将用于全校范围内的培训讲习班和一门向所有学生开放的拟议生物分子分离课程。所需设备包括：(1)用于脉冲场凝胶电泳和场反转凝胶电泳的BioRad Chef Mapper XA冷水机系统，(2)用于大容量细胞收获的Sorvall超速制备离心机，(3)双BioRad高效液相色谱系统，(4)用于视觉实验中测量颜色的海洋光学全光谱光谱仪。学校保证全面维护和修理所要求的仪器。使用这些仪器的数据将通过同行评议的出版物和报告进行共享（使用所要求设备的主要RISE实验室在过去6年中发表了17篇完整的同行评议论文）。该设备对RISE项目影响的评估将包括使用RISE设备的学生/教师用户日志和所有出版物和演示文稿的记录，并要求在所有此类产品中引用RISE支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): All RISE mentors were consulted to determine what equipment is currently needed to help achieve a bottomline goal of our RISE program, namely to produce students who are exquisitely well trained in the use of state-of-the-art equipment, making them more competitive for admission to Ph.D. programs. The equipment identified is required to advance the research projects of about half of the upper division RISE students and will be used in annual RISE workshops, where about 20 RISE students will be trained in its use. In addition the equipment will be used in university-wide training workshops and a proposed biomolecular separations course open to all students. The equipment requested includes: (1) a BioRad Chef Mapper XA Chiller system for pulse field gel electrophoresis and field inversion gel electrophoresis, (2) a Sorvall Superspeed Preparative Centrifuge for high capacity cell harvesting, (3) Dual BioRad HPLC systems, and (4) an Ocean Optics Full Spectrum Spectrometer for measurement of color in vision experiments. The university pledges to fully maintain and repair the requested instruments. Data using the instruments will be shared through peer-reviewed publications and presentations (the primary RISE labs using the requested equipment have published 17 full length peer reviewed papers in the past 6 years). Evaluation of the impact of this equipment on the RISE program will include student/faculty user logs and recording of all publications and presentations using the RISE equipment, with the requirement of citing RISE support in all such products.
