ENHANCING UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES - CASPER COLLEGE

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。该INBRE子项目的目标是：1)增加卡斯珀学院本科生更好地了解(并最终参与)生物医学研究领域的机会；2)培养对生物医学科学感兴趣的学生，然后他们将继续在怀俄明大学完成学士学位和/或研究生学位。资金用于加强和发展以生物医学为导向的课程，购买实验室设备和用品，以及为8名本科生提供津贴。通过各种实验室练习，学生学习生物医学研究中常规使用的现代技术，在某些情况下，还鼓励他们设计和开展独立的研究项目。学生可以参加在怀俄明大学校园举行的一年一度的本科生研究日活动，并提供旅行支持。基金还可用于支持参加INBRE项目的卡斯珀学院教师的职业发展活动。

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. The goals of this INBRE subproject are to: 1) enhance the opportunities for undergraduates at Casper College to better understand (and ultimately participate in) the field of biomedical research; and, 2) develop a pipeline of students with an interest in biomedical science who would then go on to complete their baccalaureate degrees and/or graduate degrees at the University of Wyoming. Funds are used to enhance and develop biomedically oriented courses, the purchase of laboratory equipment and supplies, and stipends for eight undergraduate students. Through a variety of laboratory exercises students learn modern techniques routinely used in biomedical research, and in some cases are encouraged to design and conduct independent research projects. Travel support is available for students to attend the annual Undergraduate Research Day held on the University of Wyoming campus. Funds are also available to support professional development activities for faculty at Casper College that participate in the INBRE program.
