ENHANCING UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES -LARAMIE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 拉勒米县社区学院（LCCC），夏延，怀俄明州参加了怀俄明州INBRE网络。这是LCCC成为怀俄明州INBRE网络的一部分的第一年。 最终，该计划将为从事生物医学相关研究的学生和LCCC教师提供助学金，设备，用品和旅行的财政支持。然而，在这第一年，重点已经给予学生招聘和提供机会，让学生获得实验室经验的工作项目，其中包括现代技术，如DNA/蛋白质凝胶电泳，聚合酶链反应，显微镜，生物信息学，色谱，纯化和蛋白质的表征和适当的数据分析。我们的目标是为学生和教师提供研究机会，除了通过怀俄明州大学的INBRE社区学院本科奖学金为外展活动提供学生援助。总体目的是提高学生对具有科学和技术技能的人的职业机会的认识，特别是在生物医学科学领域。

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.
