The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $297,393 Project Grant to Western Kentucky University (WKU) to acquire a Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) instrument. The grant will enable WKU's diverse undergraduate and master's student population, as well as high school students, to gain hands-on skills in modern cell analysis technology and conduct research across various disciplines, including microbiology, immunology, cancer biology, and neurobiology. The FACS instrument will enrich student learning, increase research opportunities, and promote understanding of molecular and signaling pathways in normal and stress-related cellular conditions. This NSF award reflects the agency's mission to build capacity for science and engineering, as outlined in the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The project will run from August 15, 2023, to July 31, 2026.
