OKLAHOMA CITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE OUTREACH

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 俄克拉荷马市社区学院(OCCC)与雷德兰兹学院、科曼奇民族学院和塔尔萨社区学院一起组成了INBRE项目的外展核心，以促进社区学院一年级和二年级学生在形成性科学课程中取得成功。社区大学教育很大比例的学生注册了科学入门课程，来自代表人数不足的群体的学生更有可能从社区大学开始。社区大学的学生通过暑期研究实习和新的科学规划(生物信息学)直接与生物医学研究项目和职业道路联系在一起。学生间接受益于通过暑期实习、研讨会和会议更新社区学院理科教员，以及与俄克拉荷马州研究型大学建立更紧密的联系。这笔赠款提供了支持和加强教学实验室实验的设备。被接受暑期实习的社区大学学生在实习前参加一门特别的课程，为他们的实验室工作做准备：生命科学实验室技术导论。我们称之为实验室训练营，教授实验室安全、科学诚信、计算和制作解决方案、制造介质、无菌技术、保存实验室笔记本、使用天平、离心机、微型移液器、pH计、分光光度计、电泳仪、凝胶文件成像、层析、爆炸搜索等基础知识。实验室训练营可能会成为其他项目的典范，这些项目会把本科生带到生物医学研究实验室度过暑假。

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. Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC), along with Redlands College, Comanche Nation College, and Tulsa Community College forms an outreach core in the INBRE project in order to promote student success among freshmen and sophomores in formative science courses at community colleges. Community colleges educate very large percentages of students enrolled in introductory science courses and students from underrepresented groups are more likely to start at a community college. Community college students are linked to biomedical research programs and career paths directly through summer research internships and new science programming (bioinformatics). Indirectly students benefit from the updating of community college science faculty through summer externships, workshops, and conferences as well as from closer ties to the research universities of Oklahoma. The grant provides equipment to support and enhance instructional laboratory experimentation. Community college students accepted for the summer internship attend a special course prior to the internship to prepare them for laboratory work: Introduction to Life Sciences Laboratory Techniques. We call it the Lab Boot Camp and teach basics of lab safety, scientific integrity, calculating and making solutions, making media, aseptic technique, keeping a laboratory notebook, use of balances, centrifuges, micropipettors, pH meters, spectrophotometers, electrophoresis equipment, gel documentation imaging, chromatography, BLAST searches, and more. The Lab Boot Camp could be a model for other programs that bring undergraduates into a biomedical research lab for the summer.
