SHARING IN THE DISCOVERY STEM CELL OUTREACH LEARNING LAB

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。 目的：向公众宣传和教育威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的干细胞和再生医学研究。让教师和学生参与进来，并为干细胞和再生医学的教与学提供资源和想法。 这是威斯康星大学麦迪逊干细胞和再生医学中心、生物技术中心、灵长类中心及其外展合作伙伴之间持续的合作努力。项目负责人是乔丹娜·列农，B.S.，她雇佣了一名学生小时工实验室经理。 在2009-2010年间，我们继续改进和简化我们的干细胞学习实验室体验，以服务于不同的受众。因此，在本报告年度，我们的外联工作直接接触到2000多人。在实验室体验之前或之后，许多团体参观了灵长类中心，了解了它在威斯康星州麦迪逊大学干细胞历史上的重要作用，以及目前的研究和动物护理。由于这笔赠款提供了更多的外联机会，对灵长类中心的外联访问自过去几年以来增加了四倍。 通过这个项目，我们还安排了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的干细胞和再生医学演讲者向众多观众介绍这一广阔的科学领域。我们的演讲者包括首席研究员、博士后实习生以及研究生和本科生。 这个项目依赖于WNPRC公共信息官员的时间和资源，他也是干细胞和再生医学中心的大学关系专家。

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. Objective: To inform and educate the public about stem cell and regenerative medicine research at the UW-Madison. To engage teachers and students and provide resources and ideas for teaching and learning about stem cell and regenerative medicine. This is a continuing collaborative effort among the UW-Madison Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center, Biotech Center, Primate Center and their outreach partners. The project leader is Jordana Lenon, B.S., and she employs a student hourly lab manager. In 2009-2010, we continued to improve and streamline our stem cell learning lab experiences to serve a variety of audiences. As a result, we reached more than 2,000 people directly with our outreach efforts during this reporting year. Before or after the lab experience, many groups visited the Primate Center and learned about its important role in UW-Madison stem cell history, as well as current research and animal care. Outreach visits to the Primate Center have quadrupled since past years due to the expanded outreach opportunities afforded by this grant. Through this project, we have also scheduled UW-Madison stem cell and regenerative medicine speakers to present to numerous audiences about this broad scientific field. Our speakers have included principal investigators, post-doctoral trainees and both graduate and undergraduate students. This project relies on the time and resources of the WNPRC Public Information Officer, who is also a university relations specialist for the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center.
